2023 Jérôme Arnoux Rosé Braséro

A saignée style rosé raised in stainless style.  It’s 50% Pinot Noir & 50% Poulsard.  From soil which is 50% Triassic clay and 50% Bajocian limestone. 

95 Points, Kasia Sobiesiak (The Wine Front) – “A polar opposite of the ‘Provençal style’. And it may be a bit counterintuitive to lift a pretty pink liquid to the nose and not get anything stereotypically ‘pretty’, aka juby-sweet in aromas. Love it. This is so-so savoury; it only looks like strawberries and cream but, in fact, red berries are a distant memory in this wine. It smells of hot iron, gunpowder, red brick, that kind of dusty red earth vibration. Then, you get red flowers poking through, some game meat, wet forest floor, autumnal leaves, red apple skin, rose potpourri and drying herbs. It has weight and the acidity carries the savoury details long in the aftertaste. It’s a hypnotising rose.”

A delicious truly alpine rose with fruit & colour that edges on chilled red character – making it very versatile with food matches. 

A herby nose of alpine scents.  Plush but savoury palate of morello cherry & a little pomegranate.  Pumice stone minerality with a chalky texture & excellent length.
