Have you ever had a chance to try a Rosé from Vosne Romanée? Arnaud et Sophie make a fantastic passetoutgrain rosé using 100% Vosne Romanée fruit from just the other side of RN74. It’s a blend of 90% Pinot Noir and 10% Gamay aged in 100% stainless steel for 6 months. A perfect dry rosé for summer that offers great tension and freshness with a nice balance of fruit and earth. This is a very well-made terrace, beach or backyard wine that you can drink by itself or pair with any light summer dishes. Super fun! - Daniel
Well, Vosne-Romanée seems as good a place as any to find characterful rosé, an assumption that this spirited wine deliciously confirms.
It is very fragrant, with delicate petal-y aromas lending dimension to the wine’s ultra-vibrant (a special 2019 quality) red-fruited personality. The wine is lithe and medium-weight, extremely pure, with great lift and wonderful persistence. Summer water! And from Vosne-Romanée no less! - Jason
Arnaud Sirugue and Sophie Noëllat together produce wines aside from those made at either of their associated Domaines (Robert Sirugue, Michel Noëllat). This beautiful rosé is a delightful result of their fruitful union.
Delicate notes of strawberry and raspberry on the nose are joined by a hint of rhubarb. There is good depth on the silken-textured palate and brisk acidity that keeps the wine snappy. Floral, seamless and decidedly mid-weight rather than insubstantial, it's hard to imagine a better value for impeccably rendered rosé with incomparable pedigree.
