Tête de Bélier Rosé - Languedoc

Tasting
The rose-petal colour opens onto a nose of fine intensity, with citrus and tangy small fruit.

The palate reveals a lovely aromatic complexity: fruity (white cherry), floral, with a touch of spice.

KNOW-HOW

Fermented in stainless steel, aged in barrels

The juice is first settled statically, in the cold: once chilled, it does not start to ferment, and the solids that cloud it settle by themselves at the bottom of the vat, a decisive step for the aromas of the future wine. Alcoholic fermentation then takes place in stainless steel vats at low temperature: stainless steel gives no taste to the wine and makes temperature easy to control, and a cool fermentation preserves freshness and delicate aromas. Finally, the wine is aged for six months in barrels that have already held two wines: the wood, which loses its strength with each use, then mainly brings slow, gentle oxygenation.
