Carte Noire Heritage Rose

Hailing from the heart of the Cotes de Provence wine region, this Carte Noire comes from the Les Maitres Vignerons winery. The bottle alone is beautiful to behold, but the juice is equally unforgettable. The old vines of Les Maitres Vignerons thrive in the warm Provence climate, with abundant sunshine and a delightful fresh sea breeze ensuring the grapes have everything they need. The growing season is calm and peaceful, and the winemakers ensure the final harvest is always a celebration. It's no wonder it's the favorite rosé of wine writer Gert Crum, who consistently calls it "one of the best rosés from the South of France."

This Carte Noire Heritage rosé is soft and very powerful

The harvest for this Carte Noire Heritage begins very early in the season to preserve the wine's freshness. It's been a success, and the timing of the harvest is left to the winemakers at Les Maitres Vignerons. Harvest begins in the middle of the night, and full bunches are transported in small crates to the press. The skins ferment for only 20 minutes, giving this rosé its beautiful light pink color.

The aroma and taste of the Carte Noire Heritage rosé

As soon as the cap pops open, you can smell the southern French influences of the Cotes de Provence. Delicious nuances of light red fruit, lavender, hints of citrus, and a hint of peach. This beautifully ripe style continues on the palate, wonderfully fresh with plenty of red fruit on the first attack. On the back of the tongue, this Carte Noire Heritage Rosé also offers nuances of mint, lime, grapefruit, and a hint of wild peach. Naturally, this rosé is wonderful on the patio, in the garden, or as an evening wine. But you can also pair it well with various dishes, such as tuna, veal, salads, and lobster.
