Domaine FL J’Adore Petillant Rose
WHY WE LOVE IT
Varietal Composition: 100% Cabernet Franc
Elaboration: The vinification process is in perfect harmony with nature and its terroir. The wines are labeled “organic agriculture,” a quality label which recognizes respect for biodiversity, the preservation of natural resources and the assurance of a high level of animal well-being.
The wine is produced using the traditional method. It is aged 9 months in vats on lees, then 16 months on slats.
Tasting Notes: Pale pink color, beautiful sparkle and persistent bubbles (fine). Bouquet of red fruits, wild strawberry on the nose. It is a Brut wine with a frank attack, offset by the roundness of the bubbles.
