Ekovinlådan, part 2 - Domaine La Réméjeanne Côté Levant Rosé 2010

Rosé wines have become incredibly "in" in Sweden during the last few years. Nothing like laying down, roman style, on a blanket in a park during summertime, sipping somehitng pink.

The wine is light pink with a unusually high acidity for a rosé. To be honest this wine, tastewise, reminds me more of a chablis than the softer rosés you usually get. Ok, both strawberry and rose is in there and also a herbiness, typical of Southern France but the main feature is the acidity. The level of alcohol is also high, a whopping, but not very noticalble, 14%!

Our bottle of Domaine La Réméjeanne Côté Levant Rosé 2010 me and my husband finished off while watching the sunset on our balcony during the first magic warm night of 2011. I imagine it would be even better served with a platter of finger food such as salami, parma ham, olives etc. But it was excellent on it's own.

If you get a bottle at Systembolaget it's 125 SEK. I think that's well spent money. This is one of the best quality rosés I've had. Unfortunately, as it's not the typical cordial type of rosé wine, not everyone might appericiate it.
