750 ml Low StockLes Crots Rose de Saignée is a very special small-production cuvée. It comes from a mid-slope, southeast-facing Pinot Noir vineyard, Les Crots, that always gives particularly good ripe fruit. The base wine is made with the saignée, or “bleeding” method, where all of the must is in extended contact with the skins to create the rosé colour (rather than adding red wine to white wine later on), and in this case, that is quite a deep ruby from longer maceration. The result is a really individual wine, with deep colour, plenty of ripe red fruits, and a touch of fine bittersweet herbs. It is a gastronomic wine.
