Plaisir d’Eté – IGP Comté Tolosan 2021

Plaisir d’Eté, again a ‘monovarietal’,  is a pressed rosé, made from Merlot and Malbec grape varieties. It has a pretty, deep pink colour with a very aromatic nose that delivers pleasant scents of cherry and English bonbons.

 

The palate offers a perfect balance, both refreshing and sharp. It is a real “Summer Pleasure”. The slightly lower alcohol content allows this Rosé to be the perfect sunny afternoon companion while relaxing in your garden.
