Clarendelle Bordeaux Rose

The 2016 vintage: Our oenologists are pleased and satisfied: 2016 gives every indication of being a remarkable vintage in Bordeaux both in terms of quality and quantity. The wines are deeply-coloured fruity and concentrated. This is wonderful news because year did not start out very propitiously with poor spring weather. However this was followed by a very dry summer. The limited rainfall in early September and Indian summer during the harvest enabled the grapes to ripen magnificently paving the way for a beautiful vintage. Our selected rose wines come from dedicated plots picked in September or October depending on the maturity of the different grape varieties. The grapes were in tip-top condition. Tasting notes: Thanks to very short maceration in a controlled atmosphere and direct pressing the wine has a beautiful pale pink colour as well as a rich smooth flavour. The powerful bouquet features floral aromas such as rose as well as fruity overtones of blood orange apri
