BIJOU
Rosé Le Chic
2020
About this winery
Bijou first began in Cabrières, a tiny and idyllic region in the Languedoc-Roussillon just 30km north from the Mediterranean. This charming little village is dominated by the Pic de Vissou, an extinct volcano that provides our vineyards with very unique soil types. They have since expanded production into Provence and elsewhere. The winery's focus has always been to make truly authentic wines that are delicious, elegant and reflect the local terroir on which the grapes are grown. Thanks to...

Product notes
Grapes sourced from selected vineyards in the foothills of the Black Mountain around the appellations of Saint Chinian, Faugères and Coteaux de Languedoc.
Production notes
The Grenache grapes are harvested early in the morning to retain maximum freshness. These are quickly destemmed and direct pressed (pneumatic press) to gently extract the colour. The juice then undergoes a cool fermentation (12-14°C) which lasts just under three weeks. Each plot is vinified separately and then carefully blended together.
Tasting notes
Bursting with flavours of ripe red fruits and wild flowers. This rosé is extremely pale, dry, and has more body than most Pays d’Oc wines. The perfect accompaniment to canapés, white meat, fish and salads. Try with grilled sea bass with a garlic and herb crust and a side of roasted vegetables.
