For the Grenache vineyards of this delicious rosé, we travel to L'Aude. Here, we find the young Grenache vines, all planted facing south so the grapes can optimally absorb the sun. Because the vines are relatively young, between 5 and 10 years old, they produce wonderfully fresh grapes, characteristic of this Grenache rosé. Grenache grapes are ideal for making a good rosé because the skins retain very little color. This allows for the light pink color of the rosé to be achieved. When the Grenache grapes reach the right ripeness, they are harvested entirely by hand. Only the finest fruit is used for this rosé wine. After gentle pressing and vinification in stainless steel vats, this top-quality wine is bottled and matured for another two months in the bottle in Pierre Jean's cellars.
Well, bring on the sunshine for this Pierre Jean rosé! The very first pour gives us a summery feeling. A beautiful salmon pink with a rich sparkle in the glass. The aroma reveals a delightful bouquet of young red fruit like raspberries, strawberries, and red currants. The taste, what a refreshing gem! The delicious nuances of young red fruit are pleasantly present. A mild cherry note at the finish perfectly balances this beautiful rosé. This Pierre Jean rosé is perfect on a sunny terrace or as an accompaniment to a festive party!
