Petite Nymphe AOC 2024

Wine description for Petite Nymphe AOC 2024 by Flo Busch

Colour & appearance

An intense salmon pink that radiates a vibrant liveliness even in the glass.

Nose

On the nose, Flo Busch’s unmistakable signature is immediately apparent: uncompromising freshness paired with masterful balance. It offers ripe yet crisp aromas of lingonberries, redcurrants, barberries and slightly piquant pomelo. Aromatic nuances of rhubarb, crisp apple, delicate lemon zest and wild garrigue herbs lend the bouquet an inviting complexity.

Palate

On the palate, cool Moselle elegance meets southern French charm. The piquant, red-berry fruit combines with a silky-creamy texture and a fine-grained, grippy tannin structure. A subtle bitter note at the core gives this rosé structure and density without depriving it of its dancing lightness. At a slender 12.5% ABV, the wine appears extremely balanced, focused and immensely moreish.

Terroir & origin

The grapes grow in the Terrasses du Larzac on a fascinating geological mosaic: 30- to 40-year-old Grenache vines are rooted in limestone scree and quartz-rich river pebbles. The Carignan and Syrah come from sites with yellow and blue limestone marl, sandstone and fossil deposits. Surrounded by wild laurel woods, the harvested fruit benefits from the cool microclimate of this unique valley.

Grape varieties & vinification

A cuvée of Grenache, Carignan and Syrah. After careful hand-harvesting, the grapes are pressed and spontaneously fermented using indigenous yeasts. The sensitive maturation takes place over eight months in stainless steel tanks to preserve the pure minerality and freshness in their unadulterated form.

Food recommendations

An ideal partner for summer salads with goat’s cheese, pan-fried red snapper, Mediterranean antipasti or delicate lamb carpaccio.

Special characteristics

Flo Busch combines the filigree acid structure of his Moselle origins with the spicy aromas of the Languedoc. A rosé produced according to biodynamic principles, full of tension, depth and refreshing energy.
