Chateau La Colombière, Vin Gris, Fronton, Southwest, France 2020
{biodynamic} 100% Négrette
BRIGHT, FRESH SUMMER GARDEN AROMAS, SILKY RIPE RED FRUIT
Philippe and Diane Cauvin are champions of the heat-loving Negrette grape, which is grown almost exclusively in their little corner of France’s Sud-Ouest, and they use fully biodynamic farming methods despite the area’s fickle climate. The deep black but thin-skinned Negrette stars in this lovely Rosé. It goes beyond your average sunny day quaffer. A bit round, a bit soft, this is a rosé for breezy summer nights rather than scorching afternoons.
Serving Suggestions: Baked or grilled NC flounder with sungold tomato concassé. Crunchy crostini with robiolo cheese, dill, and caper.
