Les Galets 2007

Gourmet wines of frutiness and freshness

This cuvée/reserve is named after “Les Gres” a specific terroir that is covered by the “galet roulés”, or pudding stones, that were transported to this site by a glacial moraine and provides one of the defining characterisitics of the appellation of Costières des Nimes.  This particular terroir has a profound layer of “grés” superimposed on a subsoil calcerous clay and limestone.

The range of “Galets” covers the three colours: Galets Dorés, Galets Rosé and Galets Rouge. 

This range is based upon the association between the tint of the wine and the diverse palette of colours of the galets that are present on the hillsides of the costières.

The Galets Rosés 2007 is a mostly Syrah based rosé with a touch of Grenache to complete the blend.  After the bleeding method used to create this rosé, in which juice is bled and blended from other tanks prior to fermentation, this wine is then vinified and matured in stainless steel tanks for 6 months.

Rigourous temperature control throughout fermentation preserves all of this wine’s natural fruit and freshness.

Its deep colour is due to the presence of the anthocynins and these were favoured by the alternating heat during the day followed by the relative cool of the eveings.

This wine is well suited to gastronomic dishes, especially mullet and tuna, exotic or spicy dishes and particularly with sweet and sour dishes. 

It is best served at 10-11° in order to exalt all its fruit and freshness.

Color : vivid sparkling rose color.

Nose : fresh red fruit nose (strawberry, raspberry, red currant).

Mouth : red fruits that evolve to the fresh and juicy fruit. This rosé combines the volume and the freshness.
