Cuvée du Cinquantenaire Rosé

The Cuvée du Cinquantenaire Rosé is regarded at Veuve Lanaud as the most seductive cuvée in the house. It owes its pink colour to the interplay of golden, pale white grapes and the cardinal red of the black grapes. In the glass this rosé looks light and very fine, and on the palate it surprises with unusual, individual aromas. The Gault et Millau rated it 14.5/20 in 2011.

Its delicate character shows to best effect as an aperitif. At the table it pairs harmoniously with desserts made with red fruit, such as strawberries, raspberries or redcurrants. With foie gras, on the other hand, it will come across as very surprising, so you should know that in advance. Serve it at 8 to 10 °C in a tulip glass or a white wine glass that is not too small, so the aromas can unfold.
