No descriptions whatsoever on the notes or anything of this wine...but I don't blame them! IT IS A PARADOX!
Color: clear, cranberry juice color, but "burnt."
Don't be fooled...this is NOT a rosé, this is a Bordeaux Clairet, which is darker. This is a very easy wine to drink, with little tannins (that finish that leaves yours mouth dry, and goes great with greasy meats!)
Drink on a picnic...when you want a light wine that is not white! Scent: light on red fruit, sweet to the nose. Body: medium-high body on the tongue...when you look into the glass, the legs fall down about 1 cm wide, but not with dark red in the middle like other heavier red wines. When you close your eyes, it tastes like you are savoring a hybrid of white and red wine. You can easily drink the clairet as an aperitif with your starter, or sit down and enjoy for hours!
If you are a white wine only lover...taste a little of the dark side within clairet..and I will assure you...you will never look back!
Thank you Salon du Vin!
