✨ Technical Specifications
Albert Bichot's 'Roche Rose' is a vibrant tribute to the unique pink granite soils—known locally as 'roche rose'—that define the finest terroirs of the Beaujolais region. This geological signature, rich in decomposed granite and mineral veins, provides the Gamay grape with its signature energy, elegance, and perfumed complexity. The Bichot family, with winemaking roots dating back to 1831, crafts this cuvée to celebrate the joyful, expressive nature of Beaujolais. Utilizing gentle extraction and temperature-controlled fermentation, they preserve the wine's bright red fruit profile, delicate floral notes of violet and peony, and its refreshing, mineral-driven finish, offering a beautiful expression of regional heritage.
