“CHATEAU ST FLORIN” ROSE
PRODUCER: CATHERINE ET JEAN-MARC JOLIVET
AOC BORDEAUX
Bordeaux is the largest source of quality wines in the world.
Its flat countryside is attractive, if not spectacular. However, without the lush vineyards and the illustrious names of the great chateaus, there would be little to thrill the traveller.
Sandwiched between the regions of Cognac and Armagnac, Bordeaux is the largest departement in France and the wine it produces generates more revenue than any other region

The lovely shimmering salmon-pink colour heralds an intense bouquet of wild strawberry, fruit of the forest and hints of cherry and pink grapefruit. The wine is full and smooth on the palate, showing off a nice fresh finish highlighted by the slightest touch of carbonic gas. This wine should be served chilled at 10-12C. It will bring out the best in salads, grilled white meat, BBQs and tarts.
This Bordeaux Rose is also just the thing as an aperitif.
