Info about the wine
Cuvée of Grenache (79 %), Syrah (8 %), Mourvèdre (8 %), Cinsault (4 %) and a touch of Rolle (1 %), harvested at 530 m altitude. The Grenache vines are between 20 and 70 years old, Syrah 20 to 50 years old and all other vines at least 10 years old.
Info about the expansion
Direct pressing was followed by 4 days of cold maceration. At 12 °C, 20 % of the wine were fermented for 4 weeks to 50 % in 228 l barriques and to 50 % in 600 l half barrels before being blended back with the remaining 80 % 3 months before bottling.
Color
Elegant light mother-of-pearl with silvery lightening towards the rim.
Nose
The 2020 Le Rosé smells like the sea of blossoms of a Provençal garden. If you've ever been to the beautiful Chêne Bleu estate, you'll feel transported right back there. Small red berries, raspberries, cool fruit tea and wild mint follow. Fine spicy pepper notes, tomato and a little pepper intensify its Mediterranean impression.
Palate
On the palate, it shows animating red berry fruit and intense Provençal spice. An extremely delicate and expressive drop beyond the mainstream, which can be wonderfully paired with fine and aromatic cuisine from southern climes. Optimal even to dark meat!
