Sally’s Choice Rosé Mousseux Brut 2021

Description

Terroir: Clay-limestone
Grape varieties: Cinsault, Rolle
Yield: 30 hl/ha
Harvest: Hand-picked in 25 kg crates, sorted in the vineyard and on a sorting table in the cellar.
Vinification: First, alcoholic fermentation takes place in vats, followed by a second fermentation in the bottle. The special feature of the Provençal method is that the second fermentation takes place in the bottle, with the addition of grape must from the estate’s own grapes, which has been chilled beforehand. The wine is then aged on laths for 9 months. No expedition liqueur is added before corking, so that the wine and terroir express themselves without artifice.
Tasted in May 2023 with our oenologists: A light peach-colored wine with fine, delicate bubbles. This wine reveals citrus and yellow fruit aromas enhanced by subtle notes of brioche and sweet spices. Fresh bubbles give the wine a lovely minerality.
Cellaring potential: Drink now and cellar for 2 to 3 years.
Food pairing: Foie gras with figs, Carpaccio of scallops with saffron, Peach Bavarois
