L'Estival Legend

 

The ESTIVAL: the best companion of your summery aperitifs!

Free yourself from the codes! Enjoy this rosé wine with ice cubes, fresh mint leaves or even strawberries! Add your personal touch to enhance its freshness... this is the rosé wine that will accompany you during all your summer celebrations!

But what is the difference with our Oeil-de-Perdrix Legend then? It's very simple: the skin maceration time is shorter on L’Estival! However, the vinification method remains the same: in fact, if the Pinot Noir musts macerate with the grape skins for around 12 hours to give an Oeil-de-Perdrix with a salmon pink color, the Estival only remains 4 hours in contact with the skins, giving it a very light pink color. As a result, L’ESTIVAL is a very light rosé wine!

The aromas are also very different: Estival is more aromatic, more floral than its « Oeil-de-Perdrix brother » and therefore, lighter and easier to drink. L’ESTIVAL is the new rosé wine which represents our desire to innovate and take on a new challenge...because although it is light, it is no less difficult to vinify due to its lightness and its aromatic structure.

From the vines of the place called "Le Champ du Four" in Auvernier, we have expressly raised this wine towards a fresh and airy style. Happy festivities with L’Estival!



Tasting notes

A very light salmon pink color, a clear and shiny color. Fluid tears attesting to its lightness.


Nose

A beautiful aromatic intensity made of aromas of red fruits: raspberry and strawberries punctuated by a touch of melon and rose.


Mouth

A very light attack towards a mid-palate with fruity flavors. A fresh and light wine on the palate with a fruity finish.
