The 2021 Rosé is done in the saignée method, sourced from all the tanks of Domaine Olga Raffault reds. The result is round and generous, providing a sense of softness in the mouth. In terms of flavors, there's red fruit, pear drop and a touch of savoriness. There's plenty of freshness here, but it's balanced and appetizing with a little grip on the finish which keeps things moving along. Lots of pleasure and balance.

Limpid orange-pink. Lively, mineral-tinged red berry and orange zest scents, along with a building floral quality and a touch of succulent herbs. Dry, tight and lively in style, tangy redcurrant and tangerine flavors deepen slowly through the back half. Finishes on a repeating mineral note, with sharp definition and strong persistence.

Soft, vibrant, strawberry, a but of minerality. Classic!
