ESTATE HISTORY
La Belle Citadelle was created to bring a feel of the past into our homes by bringing wines that truly represent their authentic origin and terroir. Their styles have been carefully crafted to provide enjoyment and pleasure while respecting the true characteristics of each varietal. More importantly a style that integrates its origin and its purpose: The desire to over deliver, surpass expectations and fully satisfy the person who is discovering the wine for the first time...
La Belle Citadelle emulates the creation of a work of art. This is a labor of love, and sharing this passion with others was the driving force behind the project.Our work was quickly noticed, and The Sunset International Wine Challenge (2017) awarded medals to all of our first vintages. Guy Azera

TASTING & FOOD PAIRINGS
Pale pink color with pastel highlights.
Nose: Pure and intense olfaction with notes of fresh fruit (strawberry, citrus touch) and white flowers. Nice character with a peppery tip.
Palate: Attack fresh and coated at once. Harmonious mouth.The balance between roundness and freshness seems perfect. Strawberry aromas, red fruits and peach. Finished coated, fresh and pure with a greedy elongation.
Served fresh, this rosé will be elegantly paired with a summer aperitif made with cold cuts and more or less spicy tapas. Of a great class, it will marry perfectly with a carpaccio of bar or St Jacques, as well as with maki, sushi and sashimi. This rosé from its elegance and freshness can also be associated with many Asian dishes.
