Rosé

This is the third vintage of rosé from Aussières: a blend of 76% Grenache and 24% Syrah, macerated for between three and six hours before being directly pressed. It’s petal-pink in colour, with sweet, creamy, delicate, softly peachy aromas. The impression that you’re about to taste a Provence-style rosé ends when you sip, though: the coolness that slides off Fontfroide at night is evident in the wine’s pungent acid structure and bright energy, almost as if it was a Languedoc echo of Sancerre. Red-wine fruits (as much redcurrant as strawberry) combine with white-wine energy and shape.
