Bordeaux Rosé 2017
Blend of Cabernet Franc and Merlot grapes. The Cabernet Franc will bring finesse and suppleness, and the Merlot body and roundness.

Grapes Varieties :
57 % Cabernet Franc – 43 % Merlot Noir
Vendange & Vinification :
Rosé is a maceration wine, we vinify it with two different methods:
- Pressing rosé: the berries are then pressed for 6 to 8 hours in order to extract the juice as well as the desired color. This juice is then put in vats where the alcoholic fermentation will be carried out.
- Rosé bleeding: one “bleeds” a vat of red after 6-8 hours of maceration. This juice is then put in vats where the alcoholic fermentation will be carried out.
Cette fermentation alcoolique dure en moyenne 15 jours, et elle est thermo-régulée à basse température afin d’extraire un maximum d’arômes frais et fruités.
Consommation :
A déguster dans les 2 ans. Température de service environ 8°C.
