Winery: Château Haut Rian
Region: Bordeaux
Locale: Rions (Bordeaux) France
Appellation:  Bordeaux Rosé
Designation: AOC

In a few words: The "happy and sappy", fruity rosé.

Site: From the estate’s vineyards in the Premières Côtes de Bordeaux. Calcareous-clay soils, all from Rions near the winery.

Grapes: 100% Merlot

Fermentation and Aging: To produce a rosé marked by freshness, the grapes are picked prior to full maturity and vinified like a white wine. The grapes are pressed upon arrival at the cellar. The resulting must is decanted and fermented at a low temperature. Rests on lees for 4 months.

Notes: Pale coral in color. A bouquet of white flowers and wild strawberries is met with vibrant minerality and a hint of salinity. The palate is elegant and complex with a fresh and aromatic aftertaste. Michel says: Consume with Grilled fish, charcuterie, sausage, barbeque. Drink before and during lunch or dinner!
