Baron Philippe de Rothschild Bordeaux Rosé

A masterpiece in pink The grapes for this outstanding rosé wine cuvée come from three different wine-growing regions in the Bordeaux and Bordeaux Superieur appellations. The winemakers at Baron Philippe de Rothschild considered the grapes from the Côtes de Blaye, Fronsac and Sainte-Foy-Bordeaux regions to be best suited for their Bordeaux Rosé. There, the vines grow on gravelly clay soils or on soils interspersed with clay and limestone. The Baron Philippe de Rothschild Bordeaux Rosé is produced using two different vinification methods. Some of the grapes are traditionally pressed directly. For the rest of the grapes, the so-called “saignée method” is used. In the “saignée” process, the mash is left to stand for a few hours or even days to allow color and tannins to pass into the must, depending on the desired effect. In English, the French word “saigner” means something like “to bleed”. Accordingly, the mash is "bled" after the must has rested and part of the reddish must is drawn off and the rosé wine is later obtained. The "saignée" process gives the wine a more intense color than traditionally pressed wines. In addition, they are somewhat denser on the palate. In the Baron Philippe de Rothschild Bordeaux Rosé, the process results in extremely fresh fruit aromas. The three classic Bordeaux grape varieties Merlot (88%), Cabernet Franc (9%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (3%) make up the Bordeaux Rosé from Baron Philippe de Rothschild. It presents itself in the glass with a stimulating candy-pink color. Its bouquet is very fruity with notes of red fruits such as strawberries and raspberries. These fruit aromas are embedded in a fresh touch reminiscent of menthol. Aromas of red fruits also set the tone on the palate. In the finish, this French delicacy then says goodbye with a beautiful length that is characterized by freshness and menthol. Try this exciting rosé as an aperitif or as a perfect accompaniment to summer salads or grilled food.
