Description

Only a few hundred cases are made of this extraordinary Rosé wine, that shares the same pedigree as Francois Cotat's extraordinary range of wines. Crucially it is vinified using his old Gamay vines, a small percentage of which was planted in 1943! This, together with the excellent 2010 vintage, treats us to a wine that's beautifully pale in colour, yet so fresh and zippy to smell, with incredible 'fraises du bois' fruit on the svelte palate. A gorgeous wine with which to celebrate spring! Drinking now but will keep.
