Le Rosé

Le Rosé from Chartogne-Taillet is a blend of Chardonnay and red varieties, with Pinot Noir in the majority. The red wine in the blend comes from a plot known for its red grapes. The house otherwise works mostly with single sites, so this rosé is an exception. In the glass it shows orange highlights.

On the palate it shows two faces: soft and round at first, then good length and a fine, pointed finish. It is aged in barrel and often comes from a single year. The dosage of 5 to 6 g/l is meant to help it age gracefully. Serve it at 10 to 12 °C in a white wine glass. It goes well with salmon, poultry, charcuterie or even vegetable dishes with robust flavours.
