Tasting note
A light, elegant and well balanced cuvée. Showing a pale pink colour with peach reflections, G de Galoupet has a delicate nose of rose and raspberries, and a fresh, lively palate. Presented in one of the lightest bottles in the world, weighing only 300g, which reduces its carbon footprint by half compared to a standard rosé bottle.
Viticulture
Grapes are sourced from sea-facing vineyards, and a plot further north, wedged between the hillsides and waterfront. The soils in this brand combine black phyllite, schist-like sandstone and colluvium, giving the wine its crispness and a mineral edge.
Vinification
The grapes are harvested at night at optimal aromatic ripeness. Once cooled, grapes are pressed directly at low pressure. The musts are cold settled and then fermented at 16°C in stainless steel tanks for about fifteen days. The wines are then aged on fine lees.
