Les Petites Jamelles Pays d'Oc Rosé 2024 (France)

Description

Cherry, Dry, Strawberry

"Pristine and delicate, the wine presents aromas of crunchy apple, nectarine, and lemon peel, with a hint of sweet strawberry. It's juicy and linear on the palate with fine texture and bright acidity, finishing crisp-dry and lingering. At its best: now to 2027" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jul 2025

With its pale pink colour, this wine is brilliant in aspect. It is extremely fruity and fragrant, with powerful aromas of strawberry, sour cherry and grenadine along with citrus notes (pink grapefruit). It is extremely fresh and easy-drinking, bold, round and long on the palate with flavours reminiscent of fruit drop candies, peach and redcurrant, finishing on a note of grapefruit.

This wine was crafted mainly from Grenache and Carignan grapes from several carefully selected terroirs in the Aude department, where the hot, dry, and extremely sunny climate allows for optimal ripening of the grapes.

The grapes are pressed immediately after being harvested. The must is clarified using flotation in order to obtain very clear juice which is then left to ferment at a maximum temperature of 15°C to promote the development of big red fruit flavour underscored by notes of citrus. There is no malolactic fermentation and the wine is bottled relatively early.

Food Pairing: Serve well chilled (8°C), as an aperitif, with a salad, braised or grilled meat, stuffed peppers, pasta or cheese.
