Le Causse Rose Malbec 2024 (75cl)

This organic rose wine, fresh and fruity with a beautiful aromatic complexity, will be perfect for the sunny days.

Varieties: 100 % Malbec

Vineyards: a combination of vineyards from 3 types of unique soil: brown clay-limestone, iron rich clay-sidérolithic and Kimméridgien limestone.  The vines are about 40 years old on average.  Planting density: 4,500 feet/ha.  Average yield: 35 hl/ha. Organic and biodynamic agriculture.

Wine making: a combination of Rose by direct press and by saignée (bleeding) to achieve delicate aromatics (from direct press) and structure from saignée.  Slow fermentation at low temperature (<20°C) with indigenous yeast only. Malo-lactic fermentation in stainless-steel tank. Short aging of around 6 months before bottling. Consultant wine maker : Stephane Derenoncourt.

Denomination: Rose

Tasting suggestion: The wine is crunchy, fruity, vibrant and long lasting. During the vinification, we never tried to stripp off the colour to make it more appealing. Made as such, it is a versatile wine itself to serve as a light red. It can match well with a large spectrum of food, whether coming from the ocean or from the forest.

Service temperature : 11-12°C

Keeping potential : One secret to share, is that our rose can age for years, simply because many great "materials" have been kept and it can age gracefully. We had some 2011 vintage ourselves recently and they tasted absolutely delicious, less fruity but rather round, smooth and polished.

Alcohol content : 12.5%
