Tue-Boeuf 2023 VDF Rose

Gamay, with a touch of Pineau D'Aunis. The Puzelats source organically farmed fruit from friends in Touraine.

It is aged briefly in tank and bottled without fining or filtering and with very minimal sulfur. The lovely 2023 shows spicy strawberry/cherry aromas, quite floral and ripe; the palate is earthyand saline beneath pretty strawberry/raspberry fruit with hints of spice and citrus. The finish is long with lingering stone and fruit flavors, fresh and earthy, benefiting from the minimal addition of sulfur - a delicious, natural rosé...
