2020 Rouanne Rosé Brut Nature IGP Chateau de Rouanne

Château de Rouanne is a historic estate, a medieval castle from the 12th century, located in the Southern Rhône. The estate's name comes from "Rugius", which is said to be the name of the original Roman owner. The property totals 72 hectares, including 62 hectares of vines. Château de Rouanne was acquired by Louis Barruol, owner of Château de Saint Cosme, in 2019. Barruol sees huge potential in Château de Rouanne, having worked with the previous owners for years as part of his négociant business. Château de Rouanne is planted exclusively with 30-year-old organic vines, including Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. The soil consists of limestone and sandy marl soils dating back to the Pliocene era. The grapes are harvested in the cool morning hours. They then undergo a longer pressing. Only juice from the first pressing is used to obtain as fresh and mineral a base wine as possible. The first fermentation takes place exclusively on natural yeast in concrete vats, followed by the second fermentation. The wine is disgorged and added liqueur d'expédition without dosage. Light rose in the glass. The aroma is mineral with notes of rose and red berries. The taste is elegant with a creamy mousse and notes of wild strawberries, grape, thyme and white flowers with a mineral finish. Perfect as an aperitif, on the terrace or with light dishes with seafood, fish, tapas, charcuterie, pasta, barbecue etc. Translated using AI.
