Domaine Joël Delaunay Les Cabotines
A vibrant Rosé with attractive red berry and floral notes, balanced by racy acidity
Domaine Joël Delaunay, `Les Cabotines` Touraine AOC, France, presents a still, dry Rosé crafted from a blend of 70% Gamay and 30% Pineau d’Aunis. The grapes undergo a short, cold maceration and fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks, followed by ageing on fine lees. This results in a wine with attractive scents of red berries and floral notes, leading to a lively palate where the fruit is enhanced by a touch of pepper, balanced by racy acidity and a silky texture. It pairs wonderfully with light appetizers, poultry, or lean fish.
