Good Pair Days - Ruchette Dorée Côtes du Rhone Village '15

La Ruchette Dorée is a traditional winery, situated in one of the prettiest corners of the Southern Rhone, and one which is dedicated to upholding the standards of the region and keeping some of the old ways alive in each and every bottle. Through their old-fashioned methods and dedication to flavour, character, and distinction, this winery has attracted plenty of attention and adoration in recent years, and once you taste a sip of their stunning blushing rosé, it really isn’t difficult to understand why. La Ruchette Dorée is known primarily for its delicate rosés and elegant Grenache blends, both styles expressing fine fruit and tangy acidity. The management of the grapes in the warm climate and sustainable practices every step of the way, ensures the wines express the unique nature of their terroir in the glass, and fly the flag for the Southern Rhone. The terroir in question is every bit as spectacular as you’d imagine - these Grenache grapes grow among olive groves and lavender and rosemary fields, and there’s plenty of that characteristic southern French charm in every bottle. Using a range of traditional methods, such as hand-picking, gentle basket pressing, short maceration times, and eschewing extreme oak usage means that La Ruchette Dorée wines manage to keep as much expression and character as possible.
