<\/i><\/u>Sales of ros\u00e9 wine has gone up with 2.8% since the beginning of the year while red wine is down <\/i><\/u>with 2.5%. In Bordeaux the old denomination \u201cclairet\u201d has seen a revival with many new producers of this full bodied and deep coloured type of ros\u00e9. Clairet is also said to be the origin of the English name \u201cclaret\u201d for all red Bordeaux wine. So today there are two different ros\u00e9 appellations: Clairet and Ros\u00e9. Even some classed growths have started to make ros\u00e9, e.g. Chateaux Kirwan, Giscours and Smith Haut Lafitte.<\/p>\n
It might be a sign of commercial dynamism at these particular estates \u2013 Kirwan is run by a new generation Sh\u00ffler, Giscours is owned by a Dutch business man and SHL was bought some years ago my the Cathiard couple who after they made a fortune in selling sports goods.<\/p>\n
But there can also be another background for making ros\u00e9: it can be a way of improving the red wine if done by \u201csaign\u00e9\u201d (early in the fermentation process a part of the must is run off and used to make ros\u00e9 and the remaining must is thus more concentrated). The ros\u00e9 wine that tasted recently at Kirwan was surprisingly full bodied with a deep colour, in spite of having macerated only for just a very short period on the skins. It was excellent with a picnic!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
