The grapes come from the converted organic vineyards of Château La Marzelle.
The pale pastel pink colour is clear and brilliant. The vinification process is slow and low-temperature, giving this rosé wine great complexity.
The nose is very fruity, with a rich palette of aromas of pear, apricot, exotic fruit, strawberry and banana, as well as hints of white flowers. The wine is very rich on the palate, balanced by good acidity, which gives it great length and ensures a nice fruity finish.
Enjoy chilled (10‑12°C)
