Perle d'Or Rose 2019
The prowess of a mature rosé!
This wine has the warmth and voluptuousness of pink gold, a mixture of gold, copper and silver, accompanied by a muscular body.
Inspired by the shimmering Perle d'Aurore, Louis Bouillot's most sought-after non-vintage rosé, Perle d'Or Rose takes complexity to the next level. Produced only in the finest vintages, it has been crafted along the same exceptional lines as Perle d'Or, in a rosé version: barrel ageing, extended maturation, and minimalist dosage.
This singular Crémant de Bourgogne rosé embodies the paradox of a mature wine that has retained its freshness!
This golden rosé, aged without developing a patina, combines fruitiness and length. A short maceration enhances its deep colour. The Pinot Noir plays the tenor here, supported by the chorus, Chardonnay and Gamay. Oak barrels have given a touch of gold to a divine portion for six months and an ageing period of more than three years on racks has revealed its character while preserving the beautiful liveliness of the bubbles.
A rosé with great presence
Generous bubbles, persistent bead.
Notes of strawberry, cherry, brioche.
Yellow peach and almond on the palate.
Matching combinations: shellfish, smoked lake and river fish. And blue-veined cheeses with a strong character such as Roquefort, Bleu de Bresse, Gorgonzola, or Stilton.

A luminous year
The strength of the 2019 vintage is largely down to nature’s ability to adapt to rapidly changing and rather harsh weather conditions. The harvest took place under sunny skies and the grapes were healthy and beautifully ripe. Yields were lower than in other years, but this was offset by wines offering a flawless balance between acidity, fruitiness and roundness.
The promise of deliciousness !
The naturally and exquisitely salmon colour sets the tone for this wine, consisting of a blend of superb Burgundy Pinot Noir, a splash of Gamay, rounded off with a hint of Chardonnay. The persistent foam delivers ripe strawberries, raspberries and roses, enhanced by a delicate hint of vanilla.
The promise of deliciousness shines through beautifully in the mouth. The delicate effervescence is not excessive and contributes to the freshness. It emphasises the balance between the initial liveliness and the long, vinous softness of the finish, underlined by an imperceptible dosage.
This unusual combination earned it the status of Grand Eminent, a rare and subtly voluptuous wine.
