Rosé 2019
Trade Tools
France / Burgundy
Coteaux Bourguignons is a new appellation created by the Institut National des Appellations Contrôlées in 2011. It is a harmonious and representative blend of our famous grapes, coming from their homeland - Burgundy. A lively rosé from a crafted selection of Gamay from the great Burgundy region.
Harvest Note
The 2019 vintage was very healthy and quality should be high, a tricky flowering period and hot summer weather have conspired to lower the crop substantially compared to last year. Volumes may be down as much as 30 - 40% in some areas and affects both white and red crops. The year began with a fairly mild winter, and May was very wet. There was some frost in early April but damage was not too extensive overall. June also got off to a cool start which led to an uneven flowering with shatter being a factor in places. The rest of the year was “ideal” but there was next to no rain during the summer months which, on the one hand, has led to superbly concentrated grapes but, on the other, a drastic reduction in volumes.
Tasting Note
Floral and fruity, fresh red currant and raspberry fruit character.
