La Vie En Rose, Cinsault Rosé, IGP Pays d'Oc, Languedoc, France, 2023
Producer Profile
La Vie en Rose is a wonderfully evocative, almost ‘fin de siecle’ approach to rosé.
With just a faint blush of colour, a hint of red fruits and a fleeting brush of subtle, spicy wood, this is a supremely balanced, savoury food-friendly style of wine that will help even the most hardened of sceptics see the wine through rose tinted specs.
Viticulture
Top category grapes from the Puichéric area from the best qualitative plots and vines averaging 25 years old. 150m above sea level, the vines are protected from wind and receive plenty of sunshine. Grapes mature slowly developing an aromatic profile.
Winemaking
The grapes are selected among the coolest vineyards to ensure good natural acidity. Harvest is during the coolest hours of the day, early morning and the grapes are directly pressed into airbag presses. The juice is cold settled and goes though fermentation at cool temperature for 2 weeks. The wines are then quickly cleared off their gross lees and are kept in stainless steel tanks on fine lees only until bottling, in order to keep maximum fresh fruit and freshness.
Oak Ageing
No oak ageing
Tasting Note
The 2023 is a fresh, summery, pale, dry Rose. Hints of strawberry and wild raspberry on the nose and palate with mouth-watering acidity.
Food Matching
Incredible with salads and chargrilled meats but a versatile wine which partners well with most seafood and meat dishes.
