Rosé Wine 2022 AOP Côtes de Provence Château de Berne Grande Cuvée

Grenache Noir, Syrah, Cinsault, Carignan

Rosé salmon tint, light peach, lots of shine

Very lively, intense and expressive with notes of stone fruits, citrus, exotic fruits and light spicy notes

Lively attack with lots of roundness, elegantly fleshy structured wine, complex with fruit aromas (vine peaches). Floral finish, very long and round, with slight bitterness. Clean palate then round, light finish. Body for perfect balance.

Graceful alliance accompanied by grilled red mullet, an octopus salad, a niçoise-style vegetable tian, thorny artichokes with basil and penne with grated bottarga and olive oil.

Ideal tasting temperature at 12°C but served cooler in summer.
Tip: rather than putting your rosé in the freezer, put your rosé in an ice bucket with water and ice cubes.

The Grande Cuvée is an uncompromising cuvée, born from the desire to savor the oldest Grenache noir grape varieties, on the Plateau plot in Berne, around the old oak. The Grenache noir / limestone terroir pairing works wonderfully, and the vinification only consists of letting the intensity, freshness and above all the almost chalky grain on the palate, so characteristic of the wines of the place, express themselves. The harvest is decided when the balance between fruitiness and acidity is found, it takes place at night and the grapes are transported quickly to the cellar. Maceration takes place in the closed press for a few hours, to promote exchanges between must and skins, without too much fear of diffusing a little color, which does not harm the quality. Stabilization on lees for two weeks, with daily stirring, promotes the release of aromatic precursors from the grapes, while providing the mouth with incomparable richness. Fermentation takes place in vats for part, in oak and acacia barrels for another, with aging on fine lees for 5 months. The result is obtained by the final reassembly of the vat wines and the wood wines, without the woody notes ever weighing down the bouquet or the palate. On the contrary, this original breeding provides discreet tannins which underline the structure of Grenache on the palate, while ensuring good aging potential.
