The Steps

Merlot and old Cabernet Sauvignon vines, which profit from good sunlight exposure and set in clay-limestone soil, make up this top-of-the-range cuvée from Château Puynard. Vinified in stainless steel vats and then aged in French oak barrels (30% new barrels) for around 15 months, the batches are then blended and bottled after a light filtration, without fining. The result is a harmonious and complex whole, combining aromas of black fruits and toasted scents, giving volume and good structure.

Cloudy Rosé

At Château Puynard, we call this our Cloudy Rosé, but that cloudiness is simply result of not over-handling the wine. The sparkling side of the wine comes from the carbon dioxide preserved to protect the wine and allow it to keep its unique appearance. This rosé is a small and delightful bomb of tangy fruitiness!
