WINE DESCRIPTION

Domaine Bousquet Sparkling Brut Charmat Organic Rose is a delightful expression from their own vineyards nestled in Tupungato, Alto Gualtallary, against the backdrop of the Andes at 4000 ft. altitude. The vineyards benefit from significant thermal amplitude. Crafted using the Charmat Method, this sparkling wine undergoes its second fermentation in tanks. Comprising 75% Pinot Noir and 25% Chardonnay, it exudes the essence of these classic varietals. The result is a vibrant and organic sparkling rose that captures the unique terroir of the region, offering a refreshing taste with a touch of elegance.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Domaine Bousquet Brut Rosé is an elegant sparkling wine that showcases the expertise of the Bousquet winery.This delightful rosé offers a beautiful pink hue and a lively effervescence that dances in the glass. On the nose, the aromas are vibrant and inviting, with notes of fresh strawberries, raspberries, and hints of citrus. These fruity aromas are complemented by delicate floral undertones, adding a touch of elegance to the bouquet. The palate is equally impressive, with a crisp and refreshing acidity that balances the wine's fruitiness. The flavors of red berries continue to shine, accompanied by subtle hints of brioche and a touch of minerality. The fine bubbles create a creamy texture, enhancing the overall mouthfeel and leaving a lingering, satisfying finish. Domaine Bousquet Brut Rosé is a versatile wine that can be enjoyed on its own as an aperitif or paired with a variety of dishes. Its lively character and balanced flavors make it a perfect companion for seafood, light salads, or creamy cheeses.

ORIGINS

Winery: Domaine Bousquet

Region: Mendoza

Mendoza is the largest wine-producing region in Argentina, located in the foothills of the Andes Mountains. It is known for its high-altitude vineyards, producing some of the country's most renowned wines. With a long history of winemaking, Mendoza is now one of the most important wine regions in South America. The territory of Mendoza can be divided into five large sub-regions, which give the varieties their particular characteristics: Valle de Uco GI, integrated by the departments of Tunuyán, Tupungato and San Carlos; Primera Zona, which includes the departments of Luján de Cuyo and Maipú; the Northern oasis (Lavalle and Las Heras), the East (San Martín, Rivadavia, Junín, Santa Rosa and La Paz) and the South (San Rafael, Malargüe and General Alvear), covering practically the entire provincial geography. Mendoza has been producing wine since the 16th century, when Spanish settlers first brought vines to the region. Since then, the region has become a major producer of both red and white wines, with a focus on Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Torrontés. In recent years, Mendoza has become a leader in sustainable winemaking, with many producers focusing on organic and biodynamic practices.
