Bertrand Cote Des Roses – French Rosé Wine from the Languedoc region of France AROMA: Soft, pale, brilliant pink with bluish tints that evolve into more orangey nuances over time. PALATE: A bouquet of summer fruits, notably cassis and redcurrant, complemented by floral notes of rose and hints of grapefruit. FINISH: Fresh and full-bodied with great aromatic persistence and balance, leading to a finish that offers notes of candy. AWARDS: Wine Spectator 88 points: "A crowd-pleasing rosé, with a smooth, focused texture and delicate notes of melon, white raspberry, and tangerine, all backed by steely acidity and hints of white pepper and herb." NOTES: The unique bottle design, featuring a rose-shaped base, was created by young designer Mélitine Courvoisier, who was recognized at the 2010 Verallia Design Awards.
