Domaine de Pellehaut Rosé (75cl, 11.5%)

Domaine de Pellehaut Rosé is a multi-grape saignée rosé from IGP Côtes de Gascogne, France. It is produced by brothers Martin and Mathieu Béraut using brief maceration before bleeding off the lightly coloured juice, with low-temperature fermentation using indigenous yeasts and lees ageing without oak. The blend is 25% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Tannat, 10% Malbec, 10% Pinot Noir, 8% Syrah and 7% Manseng Noir. The nose shows raspberry, jammy strawberry, cranberry, violet, rose petal, rhubarb and fresh mint. The palate has redcurrant, raspberry, white peach, passion fruit, bergamot and floral touches. The finish is medium with crisp tangy close, bergamot and faint poppy-seed dryness.
