WTN: 2003 Chateau Laulerie Bergerac Rose

[Brad Ballinger]

2003 Chateau Laulerie Bergerac Rose. Bergerac is not far from Bordeaux, and this Bergerac Rose is made from primarily merlot with a bit of cabernet sauvignon. Color is a medium pink. Nose shows primarily floral and spice notes, with some fresh pie cherry aromas underneath. Tart cranberry-like flavors are rounded out a bit with a wee bit of residual sugar. The spice and floral components continue to show in the mouth, too. There is also tangerine and cherry. Finishes with more floral than anything else. An easy sipper, especially for about $6-$9.
