Le Grand Cros
Aurelia Rosé (2016)
Le Grand Cros is a family estate situated in the heart of AOC Cotes de Provence, the world capital of dry ross. This estate was one of the first to produce sparkling rosé made in the traditional method. Grand Cros is one of the most technically innovative estates in southern France from computer models for disease control to advanced infrared measurements for determining grape ripeness. Technology though doesn’t mean these wines are not handcrafted, indeed most the grapes are hand-picked.
An expressive and complex nose characterized by ripe fruit (strawberry jam, yellow fruits) and exotic fruits such mango. The mouth initially delivers a lovely roundness, followed by nice length dominated by red fruits with a more exotic finish.
