For this rosé, the family uses Cinsault, Grenache, and Merlot grapes, each contributing their own unique qualities to the wine. Each grape contributes freshness, while the other adds strength, creating a perfect blend of aromas and flavors. The grapes are grown in very old vineyards in the Vin de Pays d'Oc region. This explains the magnificent harvest and the Mediterranean climate, perfect for this rosé. The fresh breeze from the Mediterranean Sea blows through the vineyards, providing ample cooling for the grapes, resulting in a refreshing wine. Once ripe, the grapes are harvested separately, at night and early morning. This prevents damage and, more importantly, oxidation to the bunches.
What a delightful summery glass, with an incredible amount of red fruit in the aroma and flavor, and this feast begins the moment you open the bottle. As soon as the cap is off, we noted hints of strawberry, raspberry, and small red berries. The salmon-colored color contributes to the popularity of this Maison Le Bosquet Rosé. Pour this rosé into a tall glass and you can savor all sorts of summery aromas, including red fruit, grapefruit, currants, lime zest, and fresh cherries. The palate is smooth and very refreshing, with abundant rich flavors of red fruit and citrus making it a superb glass. The finish leaves a ripe aftertaste with another summery finale.
