La Rouvière refers to “Rouve” meaning “little stream” in Provencal. The vineyard is planted in a sunny area and exposed to the "mistral" (well-known wind of southern France). Vines are planted on two kinds of soil: the first is covered by Lauzes (white limestone), and the other is clay covered by round quartzite stones. Clay permits a slow and regular restitution of useful water for grape elaboration. GRAPE VARIETIES This wine is made with red and white grape varieties. Grenache (red 50 %) is very concentrated in natural sugars yielding a voluptuous wine. The Bourboulenc (white 15 %) gives freshness and floral notes, Cinsault (red 15 %) develops the aromatic fruit and Clairette (white 10 %). Finally the Carignan (red 10 %) gives structure to this rosé. WINEMAKING Select vineyard parcels ~ old Grenache (70 years old) and young Grenache (30-40 years old) with ideal exposures and low yields. Grapes are harvested by hand and rigorously sorted. Each grape variety is vinified separately after total de-stemming. Berries macerate 12 to 24 hours for an optimum extraction of aroma and color. The juice is then “bled” from the skins and the skins are pressed. The alcoholic fermentation keeps going from 8 to 10 days at low temperatures. Afterward, the blend is made with “bled” wine and pressed wine. <LI>SKU: TR07MB7 <LI>Apply my Wine Club Discounts!: No, I'm not a Wine Club member; Yes, I'm a Wine Club member Other products in the category <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/sfwa/Category2" TITLE="Maison Bouachon Rhone">Maison Bouachon Rhone</A>: <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/sfwa/Product3 TITLE="2005 Chateauneuf du Pape La Tiare du Pape">2005 Chateauneuf du Pape La Tiare du Pape</A> -- Famous wine from Rhone Valley, France <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/sfwa/Product2 TITLE="Chateauneuf-du-Pape "Dedication" 2003">Chateauneuf-du-Pape "Dedication" 2003</A> -- Best of Vintage Small Lot (micro-cuvee) <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/sfwa/Product15 TITLE="Cotes du Rhone Red 2006">Cotes du Rhone Red 2006</A> -- Cotes du Rhone Les Rabassieres Red <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/sfwa/Product5 TITLE="Gigondas 2003">Gigondas 2003</A> -- Red wine from Rhone Valley <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/sfwa/Product16 TITLE="Gigondas 2005">Gigondas 2005</A> -- Gigondas Syrah/Grenache 2005 <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/sfwa/Product7 TITLE="St. Joseph 2003 (Syrah)">St. Joseph 2003 (Syrah)</A> -- 100% Syrah <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/sfwa/Product6 TITLE="Vacqueyras 2005">Vacqueyras 2005</A> -- Vacqueyras Syrah/Grenache 2005 <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/sfwa/Product4 TITLE="White Chateauneuf du Pape 2004">White Chateauneuf du Pape 2004</A> -- 2004 Chateauneuf du Pape La Tiare du Pape White <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/sfwa" TITLE="Skalli Family Wines Americas Products">Skalli Family Wines Americas Products</A> <A HREF="http://www.sfwamericas.com">Skalli Family Wines Americas</A> Skalli Family Wines Americas <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com" TITLE="ecommerce software">ecommerce software</A> powered by Nexternal
