Merlot meets Cabernet Sauvignon

Fresh and fruity French rosé made from cabernet sauvignon and merlot grapes. Full of flavour. Very suitable for the terrace, but also delicious with cold salads with fish or meat.

Jaubertie with its low yield Rosé

Jaubertie's rosé also deserves full attention. The basis are cabernet sauvignon (40%) and merlot grapes (60%) of low yield. The grapes are fermented cool and slowly, which emphasizes the fruitiness.

Hugh Ryman makes his rosé particularly distinctive by applying almost the same vinification as with white wine.

20% of the harvest ferments in three to five year old oak barrels, which is unusual for rosé. This gives the wine more complexity and a fuller flavor structure. Due to its aromatic power and freshness, this rosé is also very suitable as a terrace wine.

Hugh Ryman on the differences between Bordeaux and Bergerac:

Ryman: “Compared to Bordeaux, our climate is different. There is less precipitation and the climate is more continental with colder winters and warmer summers. This actually makes organic viticulture in Bergerac easier than in Bordeaux and explains why currently 11% of the appellation is already certified organic.

Although we plant the same grapes, the influence of the climate gives us a different quality of grape. That is why we have adapted the way of making wine, especially for our red wines. Typically we have more color, natural roundness and structure in our red wines and more ripe fruit and natural freshness in the whites.

For red wines we are now also looking for late-ripening grapes such as Malbec and Cabernet Franc. These do extremely well in Bergerac and make the difference with Bordeaux. The same applies to white wines: we have plenty of old vines of Semillon that give fantastic results. Our red Bergerac wines are smoother in taste, they also have more color and riper fruit.”
