Château Gassier 946 Rosado

The creation of 946 rosé requires a precise winemaking based on a fine and delicate assembly of three bases of wine. - A wine from the heavier parts of the juice (lees) previously stored at low temperature (4°C), and then filtered. This base gives to the wine roundness in the mouth. - Another base comes from the alcoholic fermentation in half muid (500l) of new Austrian wood (Stockinger) which gives complexity. The last base comes from the fermentation between 14 and 16°C in concrete tank to reveal aromas.

Eye: A pale pink robe with apricot and salmon hints. Nose: The nose boasts intense notes of white flowers, peaches and exotic fruits (such as mango, fresh coconut and papaya). At second smell, vanilla and warming spices are more present, with a final on roasted aromas. Palate: On the palate, the 946 has good length. The tropical aromas reappear (papaya, guava, mango), as do citruses and spices, combined to silky and elegant tannins for a luxuriant complexity.
