Clos d’Alari Le Grand Rosé (Rosé)
More from this producer: Clos d'Alari
2023
Intense copper pink. Soft, very ripe bruised peaches, butterscotch and a hint of lactic banana on the nose. On the palate, it is opulent and oak-driven, with very sweet oak and ripe tropical fruit. A softer, lower-acidity style with firm oaky tannins on the finish that sit slightly apart from the fruit. A bold, weighty rosé for those who prefer ripe opulence and oak over crisp definition.
