Cuvée 225 Rosé 2008

The number in the name is meant literally: 225 litres is the capacity of the oak barrel in which this rosé from Nicolas Feuillatte was fermented. The wood accompanies the development of the wines and helps shape the flavour profile. Only a few thousand bottles were made of the 2008 vintage. The house describes it as a rosé that combines complexity and vivacity.

We recommend not leaving it too long in the cellar, as it is meant to be drunk for its freshness. Serve it at 9 to 11 °C in a white wine glass or a tulip glass so the aromas can unfold. At the table it goes with salmon, light poultry or dishes with delicate spicing. It also works well as a companion for a quiet aperitif with a small selection of canapés.
