What a beautiful, complex, intense and multilayered rosé. Dried apricot, moss (not to be confused with moth), peach, peonies and buttered croissant filled with jam. A bit spicy, voluminous and warm. It's a bit heavy for my taste, especially due to lacking acidity, but objectively it's fascinating. The flavours are persistent and lovely: buttered croissant and crème brûlée.
About
Cuvée Prestige Caroline Tibouren Rosé Cru Classé is a bled of Tibouren (85%), Grenache (10%) and Syrah (5%). Grapes are direct-pressed into stainless steel vats and refrigerated to slow down the beginning of the fermentation. As soon as the fermentation begins, the musts are put in casks where the fermentation will last a short week. The wine is stirred on a daily basis with temperature control to guarantee the best aroma extraction until the beginning of winter. Then the wine ages in casks of 300 liters for eight to ten months.
