Monsieur de Cyrano - Bergerac Rosé

Edmond Rostand is the creator of the famous play by Cyrano de Bergerac inspired by the real character, Savinien Cyrano de Bergerac (1619 1655). It is thanks to his creativity and panache that Cyrano de Bergerac becomes a true icon in French literature and a symbol of the South West of France. For the people of Bergerac, Monsieur de Cyrano is an emblematic character, with a strong personality who evokes art and culture, like the winegrowers who produce this organic, modern and aromatic cuvée.

The Bergerac appellation is situated in the south of the Dordogne region. Ideally located on the hillsides of the Dordogne valley, sheltered from the maritime influence, the Bergerac Rosé appellation enjoys a particularly favourable climate. This yields enjoyable wines, both elegant and authentic, and the diversity in the vineyards brings variety and richness. The production of rosé wines is quite recent: made using a short period of skin contact, with a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, they are well-structured, refreshing wines.

The grapes are harvested early in the morning to avoid strong heat. Rapid destemming and crushing of the grapes. Short skin contact of a few hours. Pressing of the grapes. The must obtained is cold settled before the alcoholic fermentation. This continues until all the sugar is used up, to provide a dry wine. It takes place with temperature control in the presence of yeasts selected according to the required profile. Ageing on fine lees.
