Château d’Astros Absolu (Rosé)
More from this producer: Château d'Astros
2025
Pale coral pink with ripe red fruit aromas with a hint of creaminess. On the palate there is some rich creaminess and fruity concentration. finishing with some pretty phenolic grippiness. Lovely seriousness and concentration and a clear step away from many pale and insipid rosés, but we feel this needs some time to settle down more harmoniously and be ready for this autumn.
