The fruits steep in the juice at low temperature (“skin maceration”) for 48 hours in order to saturate the solids in the musts as much as possible without coloring them too intensely. Fermentation takes place at the very low temperature of 15°C to obtain as much fruit flavor as possible.
Bordeaux Clairet is particularly aromatic and has a very deep red fruit color. It is also more substantial than traditional rosés, with good body and exuberant fruitiness. This roundness and more pronounced structure makes it a perfect rosé for gastronomy.
