The gastronomic experience of a fine rosé for cellar ageing.
Presentation
Presentation
An exceptional rosé which is particularly suitable for fine cuisine, beautifully presented in a bottle which replicates the same curved lines as the bottle used by Jean Bagnis when he launched Estandon in 1947.
Terroir
Estandon Légende’s elegant, rich character is derived from the complementary, sunbathed terroirs of the hills of Cotignac and Flayosc. One is clay-limestone and the other is sandstone and together they create a subtle, rich marriage.
Located on the doorstep of the Verdon, in “green” Provence, the vines (most of which are over 20 years old) are today offering up their very best.

Winemaking
The grapes are harvested when they are slightly overripe and then vinified for 8 months in new barrels and in vats before being bottled.
After 6 months ageing on the lees, the blending of 5 micro-cuvées (small batches of wine) creates a wine of perfect balance and good cellar-ageing potential.

Advice
Tasting
A bright, clear appearance with a beautiful pale orange-pink hue and salmon nuances.
Delicate and fruity on the nose with notes of pear, touches of raspberry as well as hints of soft spice. After breathing, touches of vanilla come through more strongly, leading us to undergrowth type aromas. This is confirmed on the palate which reveals lovely smoothness and a fruity expression. Delicate aromas of dried nuts, roasting and candied fruit, on a soft, smooth and beautifully full palate.

This is a wine which is great with food and will pair perfectly with dishes such as country ham and melon, grilled sea bass, chicken tajine, or cheeses such as Comté or Parmesan.
