Tasting Notes
Appearance:
A luminous, delicate salmon-pink hue shimmers in the glass, with subtle rose gold highlights hinting at the wine's refined character.
Nose:
The bouquet bursts with aromatic charm: wild strawberries, tart redcurrant, and white cherry mingle with notes of rose petal and a hint of grapefruit zest. As it unwinds, gentle wafts of crushed herbs and soft, chalky minerality add complexity and intrigue.
Palate:
On the palate, Marsannay Rose is both lively and elegant. Crisp, fresh acidity lifts flavours of juicy raspberry, cranberry, and pink grapefruit, balanced perfectly by a silken texture. Hints of white peach, savoury spice, and a delicate earthiness reveal the pedigree of the Cote de Nuits, while the wine remains light on its feet and refreshing throughout.
Finish:
The finish is precise and persistent, echoing with citrus zest, subtle mineral tones, and a suggestion of summer berries. This is a rose with impressive depth and poise, ideal for lovers of sophisticated, food-friendly pink wines from Burgundy's finest terroirs.
