Laurent Miquel Cinsault Syrah Rose 2011

Laurent Miquel's family has owned vineyards in the Languedoc since the 1780's.  The use of Culture Raisonae (this term was recently described by Jancis Robinson as 'verging on organic viticulture') is applied to vine growing in all Laurent's estates.  Laurent does not believe in heavy intervention by the winemaker. Noble grapes from low yielding vines on the appropriate terroir should require minimal intervention to produce a fine wine.  For this rose Miguel hand selects the best Cinsault and Syrah.  Refreshing strawberry and blueberry flavors with a dose of minerality and an elegant finish.
