The Wine:
Very small quantities of this outstanding Rosé that we have been trying to buy for years. Fermented and aged in a mixture of demi-muids barrels with a little barrel stirring. Made from very low yields of 25 hl/ha from mostly sandy soils with no de-stemming of the bunches, full fermentation and partial malo is done in barrel for 5-12 months with no racking. Bone dry with zero rs this is one of the most complex and textured Rosé wines that we have seen. This is essentially a blanc de noirs, so pale you could be forgiven for thinking it is a white wine. Only a few cases imported and made available to us from the Amirault family stash and we aim to drink it ourselves so if you want a few bottles you will need to be very quick indeed..!! We love this wine.
