Carrel Jongieux Vin de Savoie Rose 2019

Eugene Carrel & Fils is located in the village of Jongieux in Savoie. Established in the 14th century, Eugene manages the estate with his son Olivier and his son-in-law Sebastien. Despite their proximity to the Swiss Alps, the climate is surprisingly warm; Jongieux enjoys 2-3 more hours of sun than any other area in the Savoie. The Carrel vineyards are planted with indigenous varietals: Jacquere, Altesse, Gamay and Mondeuse. This wine is a blend of 80% Gamay and 20% Mondause. This lovely Vin de Savoie rose is delightfully fresh, ruby in color and full of red fruit aromas (strawberries, raspberries, blackberries). Lush, with balanced acidity and a hint of Alpine minerality.
