Côtes du Rhône "Petit Ours Rosé" VdF 2021 is a delightful rosé wine from the Rhône Valley in France, produced by Domaine du Coulet under the guidance of winemaker Matthieu Barret. This natural wine is crafted exclusively from 100% Grenache grapes, reflecting the estate's commitment to organic and biodynamic viticulture.
In the glass, it displays a delicate apricot hue with a light purple edge. The nose is seductive, offering aromas of apricots, raspberries, and wild strawberries, complemented by tart notes of cranberries and floral hints of orange blossom water and lemon balm. On the palate, it is fruity and juicy with a hint of mellowness, delicate mineral notes, and a juicy core. The wine presents itself as a joyful, uncomplicated refresher that conjures joy into the glass without being banal.
With an alcohol content of 12.5%, this rosé pairs wonderfully with dishes such as tomato and plum salad, rosé crevettes with lime mayo, or grilled chicken wings. For optimal enjoyment, serve at a temperature of 11°C.
The Petit Ours Rosé is spontaneously fermented with its own yeasts and matured unsulphurised on the lees in concrete for nine months, ensuring carefree enjoyment. This approach highlights the purity of the Grenache grape and the unique terroir of the Rhône Valley.
