DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Produced in Tavel, the heart of the Rhone Valley’s rosé production, this Cotes-du-Rhone rosé is crafted from 30+ year old vineyards planted in soils rich with calcareous sandstone and positioned on gently undulating slopes for optimal sun exposure.
HARVEST NOTE
Despite a very cold month of January, the coldest of the last five years, thanks to a higher temperatures early February, late March, as in 2014, the future vintage seems to be early. 2017v is the second warmest vintage of the last 20 years, after 2003 but before 2015 and 2009. Rainfalls in July, August and September is only 17 mm. Exceptionally healthy, the 2017 harvest started in the first days of September. Due to a lack of grapes, some vintners sometimes ended very quickly. 2017v, the smallest harvest of the last forty years.
TASTING NOTE
The color is pale pink fuchsia, very bright. The nose is frank, lively, expressive, on white flowers and citrus fruits (pink grapefruit). The palate is fresh and the gooseberry meets again the grapefruit. A wine of great freshness and easy pleasure!
FOOD PAIRING
Ideal for picnic in the sun, grilled fish, spaghetti with tomatoe sauce.
