Description
Herve Villemade’s delicious rose is a blend of Pinot Noir and Gamay from vines up to 45 years old growing on clay over limestone within Cheverny. The nose, though not “muted” by any stretch of the imagination, is softer than the rather rambunctious palate, and shows notes of nectarine, very ripe grapefruit and a beautiful strawberries and cream. This rose really shines in the mouth with great energy and vivacious fruit, introducing wild forest berries, tart cherry, and juicy watermelon. At 11.5% it is very easy-drinking, and lifted up by very fresh acidity. There is a slight hint of “funkiness” on the finish, and though the producer’s website doesn’t confirm this I suspect this rose might have been bottled without sulfur. Juicy, yet fresh, we’re very happy to be able to offer this delicious rosé for your summer consideration.
