Pierre Amadieu Côtes du Rhône Rose 2021

Rhone Valley, France. The wine making process at low temperature is made in stainless steel tanks to reveal the freshness of this Grenache and Cinsault blend. Flavours of raspberry, and red currant are very pleasant on the nose. The fresh but ripe palate will be enjoyed in the first year as an aperitif, on a "tapenade", or an eggplant caviar...

Pierre Amadieu
Our domain is located on hillsides mainly exposed North -Northwest between 230m and 500m of altitude and spreads over 137 hectares (338 acres), surrounded with 200 hectares of garrigue and holm oaks. We are almost the only owner of these beautiful protected lands of the North-Eastern part of the appellation Gigondas. This exposure gives a perfect aeration to vines and avoids an excessive period of sunshine in full summer. It brings our wines freshness and allows a longer grapes’ maturation without risking drought or bitterness.

On singular terroirs Grouped together from La Machotte up to Romane, four type of soils imprint their personality. These poor clay limestone soils concentrate the aromas by naturally limited yields. Mainly composed by marls dating from Cretaceous superior, our terroirs are very well adapted to wines with a good aging capacity and partly explain the originality of our vintages. The expression of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Cinsault (for rosé) and Clairette (for white wine) on these terroirs among the highest of the appellation, is very personalized: wines are powerfully spiced. A smaller part of the vineyard (7 hectares) is in contrast in the Southwestern part of Gigondas. It is mainly planted with Mourvèdre, which grapes bring sunny and wild notes to our cuvée as well as the sharpness of sandier soils.
The combination of grape-variety and Mediterranean climate with these different types of soils and the freshness and delicacy of altitude, gives us generous, elegant, well balanced and long-on-the-palate wines.

A long and moderated maturing to express each terroirThe wine makings take place in Gigondas and in the cellar of Romane, in the heart of the vineyard. I like long and traditional fermentation or maceration of whole berries for Mourvèdre grapes. Wines are then aged carefully in our cellars of Gigondas and La Machotte, with a perfect natural hygrometry. By a long and moderated maturing (between 12 and 24 months), combining barrels and big oak casks, I look for a discreet woodiness which respects and reveals all the expression of our terroirs.
