Les Fumées Blanches Reserva Rosé

The perfectly ripened Merlot grapes for Les Fumées Blanches Rosé are harvested in the early morning, during the cool hours between four and nine o'clock, to prevent any oxidation and loss of fruity freshness. At the winery, they are first macerated for two to three hours, then gently pressed in pneumatic presses to extract the fine color pigments. The resulting delicate pink must is then fermented like white wine in stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures. After fermentation is complete, the wines mature for several months on their fine lees to develop a gentle richness and structure. They are then quickly bottled. For "Les Fumées Blanches," François Lurton uses screw-top bottles, which preserve the pristine, fresh fruitiness of the wines to the fullest. Colour: fine, glossy salmon pink. Scent: fragrant, fresh bouquet with delicate aromas of red currants, white blossoms and pink grapefruit. Taste: elegant and pleasantly fresh on the palate with the fragrant fruit of the bouquet (red berries, citrus fruits) and a fine balance of gentle fullness and liveliness, very charming.
