Chateau de L'Ou
2020 Chateau de L'Ou Rosé
This medium-bodied, organic beauty conjures up memories of summer afternoons and grilling al fresco into the fall. Pleasant and crisp, both the nose and mouth deliver red-berry freshness. From one of the finest female winemakers of the Roussillon.
This truly charming rosé is a splendid aperitif as well as an excellent pairing for grilled meats and vegetables and spicy dishes like chipotle beef tacos.

Wine Profile
Vineyard Notes
The vines are farmed organically on alluvial marls from the Roussillon plain.
Production Notes
After five days of pre-fermentation maceration (at 40°F), fermentation begins in stainless steel tanks (between 57°F and 60°F).
Winemaker Notes
Loved by wine critic Jeb Dunnick, this domaine is run by the husband-and-wife team, Séverine and Philippe Bourrier. Séverine came to winemaking through raw passion, rather than family tradition and legacy. She studied oenology and worked in Bordeaux for a decade before becoming one of the finest female winemakers of the Roussillon. Philippe is the wise, earthy agronomist. Together, they restored an old château, revived vineyards and rechristened the estate L’Ou, Catalan for "egg," a reference to the oval-shaped valley surrounding the estate.
Food Pairing Notes
This truly charming rosé is a splendid aperitif as well as an excellent pairing for grilled meats and vegetables and spicy dishes like chipotle beef tacos.
