100% Pinot Noir

Fresh, pretty nose with delicate aromas of ripe red fruits such as strawberry, cherry and redcurrant with slight bakery, floral and distant spice notes.

A lovely balance between freshness and roundness, gently fruity and clean, there is more flavour and depth than one would expect from the colour.

80% grown on limestone terroir locally referred to as «Caillotes», the vines selected for our rosé are around twenty years of age. Enjoying an easterly exposure, ripening is slow and gradual. Sustainable viticulture has been in use here for over twenty years. The vines are partially thinned in July to maintain good health throughout the growing cycle and obtain good maturity. The Pinot Noir grapes are usually harvested early to retain the freshness and acidity essential for a good rosé.

This rosé is obtained 60% from direct pressing and 40% bled juice. The bled juice is drawn off after a light maceration to obtain the desired salmon coloured. After settling for 12 to 24 hours, the must is placed in stainless steel, temperature controlled tanks where fermentation takes place at between 15 and 20° C. At the end of fermentation, the wine is racked to remove the first lees. To preserve freshness and good acidity, bottling is carried out in early in the year after clarification and stabilization operations.
