Could this is be why the Clos des Lambrays is so rich, textured, and dark? Perhaps a bit of saignée is going on? Rarely does Pinot Noir from this region supply enough color and extract to deepen its own red wine, much less leave room for a medium-ruby-salmon-colored rosé of such an unctuous mouthfeel. Of course, the bursting wild-green strawberries, elegant white flowers, and clay-chalk underlining make this what every rosé sipped with cured meats and fruit-driven salads should be - fun and delicious. 

notes written by Thierry Brouin 

This rosé 2007, coming from the selection of the Domaine's harvest, was bottled early in order to preserve its fruit and its freshness of new wine.

Showing a nice natural acidity and very soft tanins it will be perfect to be served with summer food like grilled meat and home-made pâtés.

To be served around 11 or 12°C.
