Chateau Barbeyrolles Petale de Rose 2021

Light rose petal with silver glints, nose is juicy, showing raspberry, currents and nectarine peach, together with oriental spices such as coriander grains, aromatic pepper and a hint of liquorice. Pomegranate and yuzu come along as a background, adding complexity.

Palate is dense and supple, silky and medium fresh, generous, spicy with intense flavours of ripe fruits such as red berries and aromatic zests. Medium plus bodied, with light tannins reminding orange peel, the finish is long, savoury. Drink or keep for the next 5-6 years. Great pairing for Régine’s fish soup!
