Presentation
Delicate grapefruit-pink colour. This 2019 Rosé reveals a delicate and lively nose with floral notes and fresh red fruit. Very juicy and soft on the palate, it is a bowl of fruit full of freshness, and ends with a nice length.
The vintage
The years in 9 regularly mark the memory of winegrowers and this vintage was no exception. After an early bud burst in early April, flowering was gradual and took place in good conditions in all the vineyards. Then a hot summer began in late June, which the vines bravely resisted: they suffered little from water stress, thanks to the chamomile herbal infusions we sprayed on the vegetation to cope with the heat. Finally, the harvest went as usual, without any particular precocity. The wines are promising; a vintage in 9 is born, once again, under a lucky star.
Location
This wine is produced from our vineyard Le Grand Prébois in Orange.
Terroir
There are 2 types of soils at Le Grand Prébois, stone, clay and limestone on one side and gravel and clay on the other.
Ageing
The grapes are harvested early in the morning to benefit from the freshness of the night. The proximity of the vines to the Grand Prébois cellars allows the grapes to be pressed straight after picking. After pressing, the juices are cold settled in order to remove suspended particles. The alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks and lasts about 15 days, the temperatures are regulated between 14 and 16 ° C. The wines are then racked and aged in stainless steel tanks until bottling.

Reviews
"Lots of strawberry, orange blossom, and spice notes emerge from the 2019 Côtes Du Rhône Reserve Rosé, and it’s a medium-bodied, Provençal, complex rosé that has good freshness as well as richness. It’s ideal for tapas or a meal starter and should be enjoyed over the coming 6-12 months."
