2019 Pierre Amadieu Côtes-du-Rhône 'Roulepierre' Rosé

Pierre Amadieu

France / Côtes du Rhône / Pierre Amadieu

Grenache and Cinsault selected for this cuvée grow on poor and stony clay-limestone soils. This rosé brings together Cinsault saignée and direct pressings of Grenache. It is vinified at a low temperature to preserve its fruitiness. Raspberry and redcurrant flavours with floral notes are followed by a pleasantly full-bodied mouth-feel.

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.
