Maison L’Envoyé selects distinct parcels from a handful of growers predominantly on the southern side of Mont Brouilly. These vineyard blocks are planted on the renowned upper slopes, contain vines that are more than 40 years old, and are farmed specifically for the production of rosé.
Winemaking
The Gamay Noir clusters were picked at night and immediately transported to the winery. After gentle de-stemming, the juice was left in contact with the skins for up to 8 hours to extract color and build texture. The grapes were then gently pressed and the juice moved to stainless steel tanks where fermentation took place at an average temperature of 55°F.
Tasting Notes
The 2021 vintage of the “Le Saint Pâle” Rosé is lively and fleshy. Vibrant aromas of white raspberry, peach and citrus intermingle with rose water and white pepper. The palate is bright and energetic revealing watermelon, tangerine and wet rock. The wine’s juicy natural acidity is complemented by an underlying fleshiness and delivers balance to the long and luscious finish.
