(at Bordeaux, 04 Nov 2019)
Based on the 2015 vintage, this rosé from Pierre Gerbais is predominantly Pinot Noir (with 10% still red wine), with 23% Chardonnay and, unusually, 22% Pinot Blanc. Strawberry, raspberry and chalky notes are joined by spicy and smoky hints. The juicy, generous palate texture is supported by finely-judged acidity.
