Tasting notes
Rose-Marie is produced from a single merlot variety, by "saignée" in a fermentation vat. Fermentation takes place in used barrels without any additives. The wine is then dynamised for 6 to 8 months and bottled without the addition of sulphur dioxide. This is a completely natural wine.
Its robe can vary greatly from one year to another, from a light to very light or even transparent ruby. The nose expresses aromas of red berries and white or pale flowers such as peony.
Its palate is light and smooth with a barely noticeable hint of fine tannins.
Winemaker notes
Rose-Marie is obtained by running off juice from one of the vats of Merlot during the fermentation process, a practice known as « La Saignée » (The Bleeding). The juice is then fermented in barrels for 6 to 10 months, with no added substances. The Clairet is then bottled without filtering and without sulfites: it is completely natural.
The robe can vary greatly from one year to the next, from sparkling ruby to crisp, clear rose. The nose is fresh and floral, with red fruit aromas alongside notes of peonies and white flowers. On the palate Rose-Marie is light and playful, with tannins so light they are barely detectable. A wonderful clairet, or Bordeaux rose.' - Chateau Le Puy
