Tasting Profile
In the glass, this wine displays a refined salmon-pink hue with golden reflections that hint at its age. The bouquet is delicate yet layered, offering aromas of wild strawberries, red currants, rose petals, and dried orange peel, followed by subtle notes of toasted hazelnut, praline, coffee bean, and brioche. With time, hints of dried fig, caramel, and spice emerge.
On the palate, it is both generous and graceful. The texture is creamy and fine, with soft bubbles and a well-integrated acidity. The fruit is still present, balanced by evolved notes from extended bottle aging. The finish is long, harmonious, and deeply aromatic — a reflection of the exceptional longevity of this vintage rosé.
