Domaine Henri Gaillard
Henri Gaillard was one of the best wine broker in the Côtes de Provence area for the Crus et Domaines de France company. He was very well-known among the wine-growers, with whom he would wander up and down among the vines seeking the best parcels, and they had great respect for his committed involvement in the Provençal wine-producing world. A descendent of an old Languedoc family, he is considered as a pioneer of this until recently neglected region. Always attentive to what the professionals had to say, he resurrected many old grape varieties.
Tasting Notes
Shiny pink with dusky copper tones. Develops aromas of mouth-watering strawberries and raspberries while also releasing light tones of exotic fruits. A well-balanced structure, full and fresh, with a lingering aromatic finish.
Food Matches
Perfect as an aperitif.
Vinification
This rose is made using grapes grown close to the winery, and they are picked by hand in the coolest part of the day, and the grapes are crushed after hand sorting within 30 minutes of picking. The juice is macerated with the red grape skins for around 28 hours, before the now faint pink juice is racked off to finish fermenting in steel tanks
