Description

The rosé version of Domaine de Brin’s traditional DBulles method is a blend of 75% Duras and 25% Braucol. The nose evokes redcurrants, cranberries, wild strawberries and wild raspberries. The attack is lively, with fine, delicate bubbles. The palate, fresh and light, maintains a lovely tension from start to finish. Ideal as an aperitif or to accompany a strawberry and avocado salad.

In the vineyard

• 75% Duras Rose and 25% Braucol
• Very stony clay-limestone soil, east-facing, altitude 260m
• Natural grass cover and sowing of green manure between the rows during the winter, with shallow tillage before the summer heat
• Multiple manual and mechanical operations throughout the year to ensure the grapes are well-aerated, healthy and fully ripe
• Pruning, debudding and suckering according to Poussard principles, respecting the vine’s sap flow

In the cellar

• Manual harvesting of the grapes according to the optimal ripeness of the different grape varieties
• Direct pressing of whole bunches followed by settling of the must using cold only
• Spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts
• Secondary fermentation using the traditional method: fermentation resumes in the bottle using the grapes’ natural sugar without the addition of yeast
