Details and technical informations about Caves Bessac's Crozes-Hermitage.
Discover the grape variety: Rubilande
Light, lively rosés best enjoyed young, with a pale pink robe and an airy palate of preserved acidity, showing discreet aromas of red fruits and flowers. Rustic, understated profile. Almost extinct, preserved in INRAE varietal collections for its heritage value, this pink French variety testifies to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of French vineyards.
