Côtes de Toul

Medium

Cork

Rosé

Pale in colour but unexpectedly complex and characterful. Aromas of cotton blossom, vanilla and toasted nuts lead into a palate rich with beeswax, sugared almonds and gentle oak influence. More reminiscent of a mature white wine than a conventional rosé, it possesses both texture and depth in abundance. Fascinating and potentially ageworthy. Côtes de Toul is a tiny, little-known appellation located in the east of France, in between Champagne and Alsace. Gris de Toul is a recognised style of pale rosé from this area.
