The Val de Mer by Patrick Piuze Brut Nature Rosé is bright, lively, and very pink. The wine's frisky acidity and crisp finish pair it well with raw oysters, shellfish, and other delights from the sea. (Tasted: October 23, 2017, San Francisco, CA)
Winemaker Notes
100% Pinot Noir. From vineyards near the village of Tonnerre to the north and east of Chablis. Clay and limestone soil. Average vine age 30 yrs old. Grapes are hand harvested, crushed, and left to macerate on the skins for a few hours only in order to take on a bit of color and fresh red fruit aromas.
