Viniou Reviews
Château Majoulierre's 2015 "Cuvée Le Rosé" is a delightful expression of the Languedoc region, known for its vibrant and diverse viticultural heritage. This rosé, characterised by its varietal blend, showcases the hallmark freshness and fruit-forward profile intrinsic to this sun-kissed region. The year 2015 provided optimal conditions, with ample sunshine and balanced rainfall, ensuring wines of complexity and depth. The Languedoc region's unique terroir, with its Mediterranean climate and limestone-rich soils, imparts a distinct minerality and a bouquet of ripe red fruits and floral notes. Although Château Majoulierre may not prominently feature in historical accolades, it upholds the Languedoc tradition of quality winemaking.
For an exceptional culinary pairing with "Cuvée Le Rosé," consider grilled Mediterranean dishes, such as ratatouille or herb-marinated chicken. The wine's fresh acidity complements the rich flavours of olive oil and fresh vegetables. Traditional Languedoc fare, like cassoulet, can also enhance the rosé's fruitiness, providing a pleasing contrast that elevates both the dish and the wine.
For the best tasting experience, serve this rosé chilled at around 10-12°C. Allow the wine to breathe for a brief period, around 15 minutes, to reveal its aromatic complexity. Begin your tasting by observing the wine's beautiful pink hue, followed by inhaling its aromas of ripe strawberries and subtle florals. On the palate, savour the vibrant acidity and delicate fruit flavours, enjoying a refreshing and well-balanced finish.
