JB Rosé Vintage

Elaborated on the best vintages, this wine is a tribute to our elder Jules Bonnet, and his work as a winemaker.

Our best Pinots Noirs are selected for a vinification in small oak casks, under the action of the natural yeast of the terroir. After the fermentation, the wine is grown 9 months in the barrels with few stirring of the lees. Bottled without filtration,

The most generous variation of Jules Bonnet’s style, a cunchy touch and Morello cherry of the Pinots Noirs from Chamery soften the power of the harvest 2014. You’ll have a great pairing with a serrano ham like a “pata negra”.
