La Closerie des Lys Les Fruitières Rosé 2019
Limoux, Languedoc, Sud de France, FranceThis pale rosé blends syrah, cinsault, grenache, and merlot from Limoux. The Château's vineyards are in the Pyrenean foothills, and from vines from 300-600m. They have 272 acres, planted to 13 varieties. Fruit for the rosé comes from the highest elevation plots, hence the inherent freshness here. Wild strawberries, grapefruit, orange, and watermelon ride a slender, juicy frame, finishing snappy and bright. Lovely food-friendly or solo sipping pink.Tasted: 25 September 2020Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $17.99 | 750ml | select private retailers |
