Our Saignée de Pinot Noir is a true rosé made from our freshly pressed Pinot Noir grapes. It is the result of a classic Burgundian technique developed to produce highly-concentrated Pinot Noirs.
As the grapes are being crushed we bleed off a small percentage of the juice before it has a chance to absorb much color from the grape skins. For the juice that is left in the fermenter, this means a better juice to skin ratio resulting in a Pinot with more intense color and structure. The barely colored juice we obtain is then fermented to dryness in small stainless steel barrels providing us with a delicious, light and fruity rosé.
The Bernardus 2010 Saignée is a serious wine. The color is a crystal clear, pale ruby. The aromas are classic with fresh ripe berry and rose pedal. The palate is crisp and refreshing with flavors of red berries and cherries which linger on the long, succulent finish. A perfect wine for light summer cuisine!
