With aeration, the concentration shifts towards black fruits with hints of aniseed.
Evolving notes of caramel and smoke complement the profile of this rosé with a red wine character.

On the palate, the attack is direct and vinous, with acidity in the background.
A light red wine sensation emerges, bringing juicy, thirst-quenching fruit, finishing with a biscuit note.
The dosage is subtle and well-integrated, with lively but refreshing bubbles.
Hints of fruit soaked in eau de vie also appear, giving this wine an unexpected evolution, making it more gourmet with aromatic depth.
It is perfectly suited for aperitifs and will pair well with a dish.
