Plaimont

Colombelle Sélection Rosé

WINE 72

FRESH & CRISPY

Delicious rosé, fresh and crisp with open fruit, a hint of fruit sweetness and hints of ripe berries such as currants and blackcurrants as well as citrus. The fine acidity is perfectly balanced with the fruit.

The grapes are Cabernet-Sauvignon and Merlot with short maceration to get the beautiful pink color.

FRISK & SPRØD

Herlig rosé, frisk og sprød med åben frugt, en anelse frugtsødme og toner af modne bær som ribs og solbær samt citrus. Den fine syre balanceres perfekt med frugten.

Druerne er Cabernet-Sauvignon og Merlot med kort maceration for at få den smukke rosa farve.

ABOUT THE WINERY

PLAIMONT

Plaimont is one of the world's most well - run cooperatives just north of the Pyrenees, where 1000 wine growers work together to deliver quality every year. Hot days and cold nights are a good starting point for supple and juicy wine. Leaves to the east are taken by the vines to give the cool morning sun access to the grapes, buds are removed to keep the yield down, and harvested at night to preserve the acidity. Colombelle was created by André Daguin (then also a 3-star Michelin chef) and Plaimonts founder André Dubosc. The wine is made by Cédric Garzuel, who calls it "a modern, fruity original wine".

Plaimont er et af verdens mest veldrevne kooperativer lige nord for Pyrenæerne hvor 1000 vinbønder arbejder sammen om at levere kvalitet hvert år. Varme dage og kolde nætter er et godt udgangspunkt for spændstig og saftig vin. Blade mod øst tages af vinstokkene for at give den kølige morgensol adgang til druerne, knopper fjernes for at holde udbyttet nede, og der høstes om natten for at bevare syren.

Colombelle blev skabt af André Daguin (dengang også 3-stjernet Michelin kok) og Plaimonts stifter André Dubosc. Vinen laves af Cédric Garzuel, som kalder den "en moderne, frugtig original vin".
