Gourgonnier Rose 2008

Mas de Gourgonnier, Les Baux de Provence, Rose 2008 The fruit is evolving away from freshness as this wine seems to be aging prematurely. The mouth is quite gripping – a disappointment. Bottled with a synthetic cork; perhaps the seal was less than adequate?  This estate is noteworthy for farming organically before many jumped on board and many of its red wines have been delicious.  The 2008 rose is made from Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault, Carignane and Mourvedre. The color was obtained by a saignee for 8-12 hours. Mis par Mme. Nicolas Cartier et ses fils Lue et Lucienne Cartier, proprietaires et recoltants a Mouries 12.5% $16.49 at Bottle Barn Gourgonnier
