Bordeaux rosé is made from the typical red Bordeaux varieties of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Petit Verdot and Carmenere. It can be made anywhere Bordeaux AC wine can be made. Generally, these wines are quite pale and delicate, since Bordeaux Clairet AC is reserved for darker, almost-red ones.

Bordeaux Rosé on SnoothMay 2013
Roses get a lot of the same diseases. Don't forget, they're fruits too. I don't have a winery but I have had a few roses and that's the only reason I know about the Bordeaux mix (doesn't work), powdery mildew, blackspot, downy mildew, botrytis, and a host of other problems. For many years people bred roses only for the bloom and they didn't care... Read More

'07s should probably be drunk young because the grapes were fully ripe and then some, and the conditions were such that they developed that way. But almost any cabernet could use a few years, and IMO it's the tendency of that market to drink Cab young that has made the style the way it is, not the inherent tendencies of Cal Cab. Considering ho... Read More

Glossy, warm violet-red hue, aromas of dried dark stone fruits and baking spice; flavor notes of black cherries, red currants, wet leather and cola balanced with seamless tannins and good acidity over a moderately long, luscious finish. Read More

Quite herbal on the nose with aromas of grilling green peppers and strawberry/rhubarb mixed with a limey citrusy edge. Light on entry with very good cut. This is bright and transparent with a refreshing mouthfeel. The acid is bright but integrated, and the vegetal notes of the nose are fold into a nice, fresh, almost strawberry-toned palate that...

Actually 4.5+ points. Color, this wine has a deep dark ruby red color, very seductive. Nose, there are a lot of black fruits going on, black licorice, mind toasty oak, vanilla, a hint of coffee beans, very complex nose indeed, some smooth nice dirt and dry leaves coming through also, extremely aromatic. Midpalate, very silky, black licorice domi... Read More

I have a bottle in the fridge right now. Can be very nice although often no better than from anywhere else in France, or Spain, despite charging more money simply because it's "Bordeaux."
