TERROIR
The Côte Rôtie “ Rose Poupre ” comes from a plot located in the place called “Côte-Rozier”. The vines are planted in the hollow of a south-facing amphitheater on soil made up of brown schist, rich in iron oxide. The south orientation and the low walls which retain the earth of this sloping plot give a warm micro climate protected from the winds.

WINEMAKING & AGING
The extraction is gentle and long to obtain silky tannins. Placed in barrels before the start of malolactic fermentation, the wine gradually blends with the wood. At the end of the 18-month aging process, the best barrels are selected in order to favor the balance between the power and finesse of the terroir. The choice of barrels and the percentage of new wood will depend on the vintage and the wine's ability to accommodate the woodiness, this aromatic should never be dominant.

TASTING
Typical of Côte Rôtie from the Côte Brune, this wine of great minerality and power has very good aging potential. It develops lovely spicy notes on the nose, and silky tannins on the palate. To pair with meats or tasty sauces, beef, game, hare à la royale.
