Eminence de Bijou 2021

Languedoc, Sud de France, FranceThe Eminence, undoubtedly a link to the old Papal summer home, is a 60/35/5 mix of grenache/cinsault/rolle grown over calcareous clay and limestone, some inland, some on the coast. The fruit is all direct pressed; hence the barely there colour and cold settled for 12 days before fermenting.Thirty0 percent of grenache is fermented in French oak for more texture and complexity. I love the subtle colour and raspberry infused with a zesty lemon undercurrent from the rolle (vermentino). Spice and vanilla make for a perfect rendition of rosé with style —a wonderful statement for Coteaux de Beziers fruit and authentic gastronomic wine.Tasted: 30 July 2022Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
