Production
Made by the "Rosé de presse" method where the grapes are not macerated on their skins but go straight to the press where the finer aroma and the flavor compounds, located just under the skins, are gently extracted on a slow cycle. The grapes are the discarded. They are not re-used to make red wine. This process is therefore both more expensive and wasteful – as extraction is limited to about 50% of the potential total – but is favored to release the best elements needed for a subtle and elegant rosé. Following alcoholic fermentation all the separate cuves were tasted and various trial blends made before deciding on the final blend.
