PETULA LUBERON rosé wine 6 Litres

Description

Pétula Rosé Luberon 6 litres: a gourmet rosé for special occasions

Marrenon’s Pétula Rosé is one of the Luberon appellation’s iconic wines. This large 6-litre bottle adds a spectacular dimension to this wine, which is already renowned for its character. The wine is made from a selection of particularly stony limestone terroirs, situated at an altitude of over 300 metres. This location helps to preserve the freshness of the grapes and gives the rosé a lovely crispness.

The blend is dominated by 95 per cent Syrah, complemented by 5 per cent Grenache Noir. Syrah is truly the hallmark of Pétula: it brings fruit, freshness and a certain structure, whilst Grenache Noir rounds the blend out with its roundness and fruity expression. This choice of grape varieties sets Pétula apart from many lighter rosés and explains why it is positioned as a true dinner rosé.

Marrenon pays particular attention to the selection of plots and the harvest. The grapes are harvested at night, around mid-September, to best preserve the aromatic freshness of the grapes. Vinification involves a short skin contact period followed by direct pressing, then alcoholic fermentation carried out at between 14 and 16 °C. The wine is then aged for four months on fine lees.

On tasting, Pétula displays a deep salmon-pink colour. The nose evokes red berries, strawberry, raspberry and passion fruit, with hints of sweet spices. On the palate, it is juicy, indulgent and tangy, developing notes of redcurrant, mango and white-fleshed fruits. The finish retains a pleasant freshness.

The 6-litre bottle is ideal for a wedding, a birthday, a reception, a business lunch or a big summer party. Serve at around 10 °C, with a Provençal salad, grilled meats, sea bream, a vegetable tian, sushi or Mediterranean cuisine.
