Description
After its lovely crimson-ruby colour with raspberry tints, Château Les Rosiers Red reveals a nice powerful bouquet of red fruit scents with hints of flowers, spices and mildish mint. On the palate, it is fleshy, rounded and fruity with fine, mature tannins and a lovely fresh finish. It is pleasant right now and will keep all its qualities for another 4 years or so.
Grass cover between every other row, with vineyard monitoring contract covering sustainable pest-control methods and product traceability. Winemakers used organic fertilizers to protect the health of the 20 year old vines, with excess bud removal on the Merlot vines, mechanical leaf-stripping and green harvesting on the Cabernet Sauvignon and Franc vines to limit differences in ripeness. This operation is conducted immediately after the grapes change colour, treatment against botrytis.
Individual plot monitoring and ripeness checks twice a week (including analysis of anthocyans), with introduction of a winery monitoring booklet providing traceability of the wine back to the individual plots of vines. The grapes for this wine were harvested by machine, wine bled off from the Merlot and Cabernet varieties.
In the heart of the Bordeaux vineyards, the small village of Soussac stands on the slopes of the Butte de Launay, the highest point in the region. It is here that four generations of the Jolivet family have looked after their vines. Today, Mr and Mme Jolivet make a Bordeaux red, a Bordeaux white and a Bordeaux rosé which are truly worthy of the terroir of Bordeaux.
Food Pairing: It is at its best served at room temperature of about 17-18°C with pâté, roasted red meat, grilled white meat, lamb stew and selections of hard cheeses.
