Château Rasque Clos de Madame Côtes de Provence rosé 2021 0.75 l

GRAPE VARIETIES AND TERROIR

Grape varieties 85% Syrah and 15% rolle (Rootstock R110). A very stony clay-limestone soil. A south-east exposure with an altitude of 230 m.

VINIFICATION

After having harvested all our grapes by hand, our harvest is led to the pneumatic press ensuring a light crushing. After 4 to 6 hours of maceration to obtain the desired color and before pressing, the first juice called "juice of bleeding" will be isolated to ensure the production of this vintage. Each grape variety is vinified separately, and it is only after their alcoholic fermentation that the Syrah/Rolle blend will complete this cuvée.

TASTING

Our Clos de Madame Rosé is composed of 85% Syrah and 15% Grenache. Its pretty, silky and shimmering light pink color reveals some old rose reflections, always a beautiful brilliance. Nice nose with floral and fruity aromas. We can already feel that it is distinguished, a beautiful floral and fruity complexity. An exotic side, connotations of raspberry and wild strawberry. The mouth is round and suave with a nice richness, we find the fruits with a little pomegranate. It coats the palate well, a very spherical tasting. A long and fruity retro-olfaction. This is not a thirst-quenching rosé but a beautiful gastronomic marriage.

FOOD AND WINE PAIRING

To be served at 8°. This magnificent cuvée is the perfect accompaniment to a beautiful baked Saint-Pierre with citrus aromas, turbot with candied shallots and figs, or farmhouse veal chops with a few chanterelles, white asparagus and morels around a codfish casserole. Carpaccio of sea bass from Brittany, olive oil, Tapas of the sea. Tartar of two salmon with summer truffle. Ideal marriage on the tempuras of vegetables.
