2013 Tradition Rose Cru Classe

Light orange-pink. Potent, mineral-laced orange pith, redcurrant and cherry aromas are complemented by suggestions of succulent herbs and lavender pastille. Sappy, penetrating and pure, offering intense red berry and spice flavors and a spine of juicy acidity that adds back-end lift. Plays power off finesse smoothly and finishes stony and long, with a whiplash of floral pastilles and orange zest.
