Rosé Grand Cru

The Rosé Grand Cru is a more recent cuvée from the house of Soutiran and is deliberately lighter than the Rosé de Saignée. It comes exclusively from grand cru sites and is made up of 70% Chardonnay and 30% Pinot Noir. The high proportion of Chardonnay gives it elegance, while the Pinot Noir provides colour and red fruit. In the glass it shows a clear, delicate, luminous pink.

On the nose there are subtle red fruits, and on the palate mainly strawberry, carried by fresh, harmonious bubbles. That makes it a very good aperitif, and it also suits light starters, such as salmon tartare or a salad with berries. Serve it at 8 to 10 °C in a white wine glass or tulip glass.
