Pilaho Sparkling Rosé 2017

Sweetly fruited and attractively lifted, this delightful sparkling wine shows strawberry jam, watermelon, mango and blossom aromas on the nose. The palate is succulent and refreshing with gentle sweetness, which is well balanced by bright acidity. An instantly appealing bubbly with an attractive fruity finish. At its best: now to 2020.

About Domaine de Pellehaut:
The Château de Pellehaut has a long and beautiful history with over four centuries of the Béraut family producing Armagnac.
In the 1950s, with a diploma in agronomy, Gaston Béraut took over the management of the family estate. After doubling the total area from 150 to 300 ha including 50 ha of vines, Gaston decided to take control of the distillation of his own wines for Armagnac. Following the success of the Domaine’s Armagnac at tasting contests, the estate embarked on the adventure of the Côtes de Gascogne wines.

Two sons, Martin and Mathieu left their footprints as toddlers amongst the rows of the vineyards of the estate. Coming from a line of Armagnac winemakers, they trained in viticulture and oenology and for the past 20 years have continued the rise of the family estate. While still producing limited quantities of Armagnac, the estate now focuses on production of distinguished Côtes de Gascogne wines.
