La Tourbeille Rosé, “l’Esprit de Jeanne”
Bordeaux ROSé
In the cool of September dawn, family and friends gather to harvest our special parcel of vieilles vignes (70-year-old vines). We assemble Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon to create a limited edition Rosé. Using a gentle pneumatic press as soon as the grapes are harvested ensures the pale pink color, delicate aromas and notes of summer berries. A manual brassage des lies at the end of fermentation brings a subtle gras to the texture. “L’Esprit de Jeanne” is elegant, dry and refreshing. Selected by VINOGUSTO as one of the “Top Ten Rosés of Bordeaux;” GOLD Medal Paris Wine Cup.
