Gilbert & Gaillard
This rosé wine owes its originality to its production process. It's what's known as a rosé de saignée: a rosé for which a longer maceration is carried out. It's a highly aromatic wine, more consistent than traditional rosé wines, with good substance and plenty of fruit. As a result, these rosés are perfect for the table, pairing perfectly with Mediterranean cuisine, grilled meats and spicy dishes. Astonishing!

Reasoned
Harvest
At optimum maturity
Winemaking
After 48 hours of cold maceration (-10°), each vat of red wine is bled, i.e. the juice is separated from the solid parts (grape pulp and skins). After settling and clarification, the must begins fermentation at low temperature (around 13°), lasting almost 3 weeks. 1 to 2 g/l of residual sugar is generally left to increase volume and roundness on the palate.

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2021) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))
About the domain :
Bought in 1958 by Moroccan-born Raphaël Gazaniol, the estate now covers 180 hectares, 70 of which are planted with vines on the best exposed plots. A total of 32 different parcels are vinified separately and selected either for the base wine, already of the highest quality, or for the famous Cuvée Raphaël, a striking demonstration that a simple Bordeaux appellation can produce magnificent wines, or the Cuvée Esprit, produced only when the vintage lends itself to it, based mainly on Cabernet aged 14 months in new barrels. The production is completed by white and clairet Bordeaux. Wines of character, balance and charm. A coherent, consistent range.
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2021) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
On the borders of the Gironde and Dordogne departments, a Périgord-style château, built in 1570 by Pierre de Parenchère, governor of the Sainte-Foy-la-Grande region, and a vast cru (67 ha of vines), regular in quality. Raphaël Gazaniol, a winegrower repatriated from Morocco, acquired it in 1958, then passed it on to his son Jean and granddaughter Julia. In 2005, a Swedish wine enthusiast, Mr. Landin, who also owns a vineyard in Montalcino in Tuscany, bought the estate.
Guide des Vins Gault & Millau
Domaine rated 1*Star (Serious production)
About the domain :
Located not far from Sainte-Foy-la-Grande, in the extreme east of the Bordeaux region, the Château de Parenchère vineyard benefits from a clay-limestone terroir with a very high clay content. The sixty or so hectares planted with red grape varieties are dominated by Merlot (50%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (40%) - the latter on the best exposed plots - backed up by Cabernet Franc. Planting densities are gradually being increased to over 5,000 vines per hectare. A white wine has been added to the range for several vintages now.
