LA VIE EN ROSÉ - 2022
FDC1-RS - Languedoc IGP - 50% Malbec, 50% Merlot - 12.5%
Coeur d’Artichaut is a French expression about love (of course)! It’s about a sheep that falls in love with a wine lover… but more importantly, who wouldn't fall in love with a lovely sheep!!! Here they wanted to use Malbec, as it is not often seen in Languedoc & has a fabulous aroma profile for Rosés. Married with Merlot, you will find tangy flavours of redcurrant & raspberry, with hints of juicy peaches & nectarines. As well, the body will be a bit rounder as they use the Saignée method specifically to add structure & complexity to the wine. Oh la la….this is making me falling in love just talking about it!
Tasting Notes: Elegant nose of red fruits like redcurrant, raspberry soft rosewater. On the palate the lively & crunchy character of grapefruit combines with refreshing ripe fruits, evolving towards a full & round finish. Making it an extremely easy drinking rose.
Serving Temperature: 8-10°C
Food Pairing: Pairs with fresh canapés, fish like salmon & tuna tartar or desserts such as apricot tart.
