Gérard Bertrand - Languedoc - Château La Sauvageonne La Villa - Rosé - 2018

Wine:

Light and delicate, La Villa Rosé 2018 resembles a white wine in its finesse. However, it preserves subtle notes of crushed strawberries, sweet spices, violets and hawthorn. Fairly powerful, well-toned and with good volume, this rosé also offers plenty of freshness and a radiant salinity on the finish. It will be perfect paired with fine fish dishes!
