Cote du Rhone Rose Les Cerisiers

PRODUCTION

Our hunt for specific plots that would deliver the best grapes with the right balance and flavour profile

led us to the south of the Côtes du Rhône where we found ripeness and aroma to balance the freshness

found in plots from northern villages of the Southern Rhône valley. As with previous vintages, Les

Cerisiers is again made in the same way as the best rosés of Provence, uses the ‘rosé de presse’

method as soon as the grapes are picked. This very gentle pressing extracts as much aroma and flavour

as possible with the least amount of tannins. The wine is both pressed and vinified at cool

temperatures (of no more than 16Intent ) in stainless steel vats to preserve these delicate aroma,

flavours and colour.

TASTING NOTE

An elegant, truly gastronomic rosé from our home in the Rhône. A classic salmon pink rosé with

delicate perfumed aromas of rosehip syrup, wild berry blossoms and cherries on the nose. Full

flavoured, ripe and beautifully balanced with acidity, there’s elegant, textured, berry fruit on the palate

with a twist of raspberry freshness to lift the finish. Deliciously balanced and moreish.

FOOD MATCH

As with rosé from neighbouring Provence, Les Cerisiers should not be seen only as a delicious apéritif

but a match for light dishes - a simple charcuterie plate or grilled salmon and prawns. It also pairs well

with more complex dishes; Bouillabaisse, the classic southern French fish stew, or even Red Thai

Chicken Curry, a spicy bean tagine or a mushroom and aubergine lasagne.
