Poirier des Rougettes
樹齢60年の古樹が生む、食卓のロゼ。
南仏ガール県の石灰質の大地で育つ、樹齢60年のグルナッシュ80%と40年のサンソー20%。手摘みし、ドライアイスで酸化から守りながら仕込むダイレクトプレスが、淡く上品なサーモンピンクを生みます。野いちごや赤スグリ、白桃にほのかなスパイスとドライハーブ。みずみずしい酸の奥に古樹ならではの果実の厚みがあり、塩味を帯びたミネラルが続きます。生ハムやサーモンの塩焼きと合わせて。

Tasting note
Appearance Pale salmon pink. The color is delicate and elegant, derived from direct press, with a brilliance that evokes a refined, Provence-style aesthetic. Nose Charming aromas of small red fruits—wild strawberries, redcurrants—white peach, and melon rind. Swirling the glass reveals subtle spice notes from Grenache, nuances of Southern French dry herbs like thyme reminiscent of garrigue, and a mineral impression reflecting the limestone soil. The clean and pure aroma suggests careful winemaking with dry ice for antioxidant protection and temperature control. Palate The attack is fresh, with juicy acidity running through the entire wine. Despite its pale color, the mid-palate has a surprising depth and umami of fruit, a concentration characteristic of old vines, specifically 60-year-old Grenache and 40-year-old Cinsault. The suppleness and light drinkability contributed by Cinsault are complemented by a moderate volume of 13.5% ABV. The finish offers a pleasant lingering taste of saline minerality and a slight bitterness from red fruits. This is a gastronomic rosé that truly shines when paired with food, not just as an aperitif.
