Cote des Roses chardonnay 750ml

Winegrower’s note

Cote des Roses celebrates the Mediterranean lifestyle. The Languedoc appellation stretches alongside the Mediterranean coast The soils are highly varied, mainly with hard limestone and schist, but also gravel transported by the rivers of the Languedoc region The bottle is original with its base in the shape of a rose, created by a young designer from the Ecole Boulle A wine to be given in the same way you would offer a bunch of roses!

Winemaker’s note

The various grape varieties are harvested separately when each of them is just at the right ripeness level The winemaking process is managed to respect the specific characteristics of the grape varieties and the qualities of the soil The grapes are mechanically harvested with a built in sorting system The grapes are de stemmed, cooled down to 8 C and transferred to the press. Particular attention is paid to the pressing to ensure that only the first, highest quality juice is kept The juice is then left to settle according to the precise aromatic profile that is being targeted The fermentation lasts between 15 and over 30 days, depending on the degree of clarification and the temperature Finally, after a light fining, the wine is bottled quite early to preserve the fresh, fruity character of the wines
