A deliciously refreshing, lighter-style Bordeaux rosé with mineral characteristics
Bought back in 1989, the Château Côte Montpezat is situated in Belvès de Castillon on the appellation of controlled origin Côtes de Castillon.
The legend tells that those who listen closely to the well of Château Côte Montpezat, can hear the pilgrims of Saint Jacques de Compostelle who, when crossing these lands used to drink here… The old quarters dating from the XVIIth century were used by pilgrims during their famous walk.
With only a tiny production this is a blend of 43% Cabernet Franc, 42% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon is a delicious rosé with refreshing acidity. Made from direct pressing of the berries without maceration and low temperature to obtain a pale color, rose petal, and retain its freshness, while its fruit available each year from the month April.
The color is a brilliant pale peony-pink. The nose reveals lovely aromas of fresh red fruit (redcurrant, raspberry), followed by notes of pink grapefruit. The attack is greedy with redcurrant and raspberry, and the pink grapefruit refreshes the palate mid-palate and melts into an intense, mineral finish.
