A BIG ROSE FULL OF HISTORY AND PASSION
 “When I joined the Fontarèche team in 2008, my father, Marc DUBERNET, oenologist, researcher and historian of vines and wine, suggested that I look into the Piquepoul Noir grape variety, of which 4 hectares miraculously remain in Fontarèche.
After several years of development in the vineyard, in 2022 we were able to carry out a full-scale rosé vinification on this grape variety, applying all our expertise. The result is convincing: a precise, delicate and remarkably balanced rosé. So much so that for once, we will not be looking for a blend" – Vincent Dubernet

Tasting:
 Bright salmon pink color.
Delicate nose of small red fruits, reminiscent of tangy wild strawberry and morello cherry. Some fairly discreet thiol notes.
Beautiful attack, ample and frank, with a clear and gourmet expression of the red fruits of the nose. The acidity is expressed gently, highlighting the freshness and bringing a beautiful fluidity to the finish which resonates very long on the sweet notes of fruit and a delicate vinosity.
