La Rose Pauillac
Pauillac AOC – Bordeaux – France
This is the emblematic brand from Pauillac, founded in 1933. La Rose is the result of meticulous plot selection. Most of the land parcels that come into its production are small in size, and meticulously worked on, just like so many gardens. It is a very expressive wine, marked by black-fruit, liquorice, and slightly smoky aromas.
