Description
Julien and Clément identify in advance the plots of Pinot Noir that will be chosen to make their rosé. The grapes are picked at optimum ripeness by machine to facilitate loading straight into the press. This is a 100% rosé de presse as the brothers believe that gentle pressing over 3.5 hours is the only way to extract the delicate aroma and flavour components from just under the skins of the grapes. The juice is then fermented in stainless steel and aged on the fine lees for 6 to 10 months.
Tasting notes
Fresh strawberries, even some freeze-dried red fruits and a hint of lemon on the nose. Plenty of redcurrants and red cherries and a touch of peach fruit on the palate. Joyous, fresh and balanced with a pinot noir backbone.
