Rosé 2020
Trade Tools
France / Burgundy
Coteaux Bourguignons is a new appellation created by the Institut National des Appellations Contrôlées in 2011. It is a harmonious and representative blend of our famous grapes, coming from their homeland - Burgundy. A lively rosé from a crafted selection of Gamay from the great Burgundy region.
Harvest Note
This was a vintage with a growing season which began quite early. The winter season was significantly warmer than the norm with some useful precipitation that fortified the soils. This triggered the vines into early budbreak in March. Fortunately, this early start was spared any serious frost events except for a few isolated vineyards. Warm and dry conditions throughout the vegetative cycle continued with flowering in late May and veraison in mid-July. The harvest began in mid-August under sunny, clear, and optimal dry conditions. In fact, the 2020 harvest was the earliest recorded in several centuries. The wines are promising, showing plenty of concentration from the ripe and perfectly clean fruit.
Tasting Note
Floral and fruity, fresh red currant and raspberry fruit character.
