This Rosé has a bright colour and is noticeable thanks to its elegant and fruity aromas. Stewed strawberry notes are in perfect harmony with raspberry and vanilla touches. Red fruit notes are delicate in the palate and develop a special taste that will be particularly appreciated by women. The finish is long, sweet and creamy. 


Tasting notes :

Wine Spectator : 88 /100
Gerhard Eichelmann - Mondo - Avril 2007 : corpulent et limpide en bouche, fruits sucrés et délicats, vin agréable à boire. 
Guide Gault Millau 2009 : 15.5/20
John Gilman - June 2008: 89+ /100. medium-full, crisp and vibrant, with lovely focus and balance, tiny bubbles, and lovely length and grip on the soil-driven finish.


Wine and food matching : perfect in aperitif and also with white meats. It will develop its aromas at dessert like with a red fruit charlotte or a raspberry vacherin : meringue with fruits and whipped cream.
