The Domaine de la Prébende Beaujolais Rosé is a delightfully dry summer wine that bursts out of the glass with red fruit flavors and aromas.
It's made by direct press and undergoes full malolactic fermentation. The wine is vinified and aged in stainless steel for 3 months before bottling.
In addition to this rosé, Domaine de la Prébende produces a deeply mineral Beaujolais from a predominantly clay and limestone terroir, a rarity in a region dominated by granite soils.
“Une prébende” essentially means “a tax,” and the domaine sits on the location where monks used to collect taxes from the villagers. As winemaker Ghislaine Dupeuble puts it, “Monks didn't like to own low end vineyards!”
