Description
The embodiment of the fruit
When sommeliers asked for a gourmet dining rosé, we listened.
This wine is meant to be served with a meal.
No dosing, no added sugar, just the truest embodiment of the fruit and the acidity of the terroir. With its irresistible effervescence conveying its aromatic elegance, Canonique was devised to create perfect harmony between dish and wine.
Tasting & pairings
This is a rosé conceived for fine dining. With pizza, its freshness will enhance the acidity of the tomato. Its fresh and herbaceous aromas will also match perfectly a salmon gravlax or a tom yum Thai soup.
Serving temperature : 11 °C
Can be kept and stored : up to 5 years
Notes from the winemaker
2022 was a fresh vintage. Maturity was reached nonetheless, and can be noticed by the pungency of the wine. This vintage, due to the cold season, is the incarnation of a nordic wine – 2022 was the perfect year to craft sparkling wines!
When brought in from the fields, the grapes are subject to a direct pressing. Cold fermentation, on indigenous yeast and in stainless steel vats, preserve the wine’s freshness and fruity aroma. Sabrevois grapes normally bestow their vibrant color to Le Rosé but lost their pigmentation during the fermentation process, making this vintage paler than usual. The forming of bubbles during the second fermentation takes place using neutral yeast from a Champagne biodynamic vineyard and organic beet sugar. Le Rosé then matures on lees for a minimum of 15 months and is subjected to neither fining nor filtering.
