Cuvée Bertaud Belieu Rosé Initial 2021
Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) Côtes de Provence, Gold Medal 2022 in Paris (competition of independent winemakers)
The Rosé Initial 2021 with a pastel salmon pink color, asserts itself with charm on the nose with chords of dried fruits, almonds, candy and hazelnut. Complex and balanced in the mouth with hints of roundness, this rosé plays the extension with a nice length ending on aromas of cherry core.
The Rosé Initial, with its strong personality, likes the company of Mediterranean products, such as paella, ratatouille or grilled fish. Its complexity and delicious vigor make it a natural accomplice to spicy dishes or Thai cuisine.
