Fontarèche - Piquepoul Noir Rosé | IGP Aude Hauterive
Rosé | France, Frankrijk | 2022
Bright salmon pink colour. Delicate nose of small red fruits, reminiscent of tart wild strawberries and morello cherries. Some discreet thiolic notes. Beautiful attack, ample and frank, with a clear and greedy expression of the red fruits of the nose. The acidity expresses itself gently, bringing out the freshness and bringing a beautiful fluidity to the finish which resonates for a very long time on the sweet notes of fruit and a delicate vinosity.

About Ch. Fontarèche
Château Fontareche is one of the oldest domains of the Languedoc (14th century), located in the Aude department, north of Lezignac-Corbières. The domain used to belong to the archbishops of Narbonne and has been owned by the De Lamy family for nine generations (1682). The 150-hectare domain produces Corbières AOC and some Vin de Pays wines. These young winemakers strive for high quality without losing their authenticity. The AOCs only have a yield of 30 to 35 hl per hectare.
