Tasting notes
The 2023 vintage reveals delicate aromas of fresh red berries—strawberry and raspberry—accented by subtle floral hints. On the palate, it is crisp and well-balanced, with a lively structure that delivers refreshing acidity and a refined, slightly mineral finish.
Winemaker notes
Rose-Marie is obtained by running off juice from one of the vats of Merlot during the fermentation process, a practice known as « La Saignée » (The Bleeding). The juice is then fermented in barrels for 6 to 10 months, with no added substances. The Clairet is then bottled without filtering and without sulfites: it is completely natural.
The robe can vary greatly from one year to the next, from sparkling ruby to crisp, clear rose. The nose is fresh and floral, with red fruit aromas alongside notes of peonies and white flowers. On the palate Rose-Marie is light and playful, with tannins so light they are barely detectable. A wonderful clairet, or Bordeaux rose.' - Chateau Le Puy
