2014 Bertaine et Fils Vallee de L'Aude Rosé

The 2014 Bertaine et Fils Vallee de L'Aude Rosé comes from the foothills of the Pyrenees. The label says it is the famous French style of Rosé: 'romantic and sweetly perfumed with elegant light berry flavours and lingering only on a soft, dry finish'. This is a deep salmon pink in colour, with musk in the perfume. There is a sense of sweetness on the palate but what I mean by this is: dry but cute. The label is done in old-style Parisienne block black print, as if from the 19thC, and looking newspaper-ish, on a big, square bordered white label.
