2015 Pierre Amadieu Côtes-du-Rhône 'Roulepierre' Rosé

Pierre Amadieu

France / Côtes du Rhône / Pierre Amadieu

Vinified at low temperatures in stainless steel vats to preserve fruitiness and freshness, this rosé from Grenache and Cinsault reveals flavours of raspberries and currants accompanied by floral notes. Silky, rounded and fresh.

Another rock-solid effort from this team is the 2015 Cotes du Rhone Roulepierre Rose, which is 60% Grenache, 20% Cinsault and 20% Syrah, all from a direct press. It gives up lots of cherry and garrigue nuances in a medium-bodied, rounded, textured and lengthy style. It will shine on the dinner table and keep for 6-12 months. Drink: 2016.

About Pierre Amadieu

Pierre Amadieu is a family-owned domaine established in 1929 in the village of Gigondas. Wines are made, matured and bottled on the estate, which now covers 140 hectares. Pierre is in charge of winemaking and maturation, while his uncle Claude runs the vineyard. The vines are mostly planted on hillsides between 230m and 500m up, facing north-northwest and surrounded by 200 hectares of garrigue and holm oaks. The exposure gives good aeration and avoids excessive sun in full summer, with extended ripening lending the wines freshness, depth and complexity. The wines are vibrant modern Rhônes, very restaurant-friendly and eminently drinkable.
