Spring is around the corner

 

 

 

Pruning, under a spring sky, our 57 years old Carignan planted "on the rocks"

 

 

Dear wine lovers,

Even if we have had, so far, a pretty cold winter, I can already see its end...

The first reason is that our rosé is now bottled. Tasting it, I remind me those first warm days of the year that we use to celebrate with a glass of rosé wine.

The second reason is that I have now planned a US trip...which will in fact start the very first day of this coming Spring. My itinerary will be NYC, Tampa, Houston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle and Minneapolis. Please visit this page which will be regularly updated for details and please let me know if you plan to join me for any of the tasting events where you are of course more than welcome.

But before Spring arrives, I need to continue pruning our 20 000 vines... This new wine tour, this rosé and the hope to share it with you soon give me the will to go on and do the job, besides the still very cold temperatures.

Cheers,

Jean-Marc Espinasse
Domaine Rouge-Bleu

What? no snow?

Anne and I are in Aix en Provence studying French during the month of January. Will you be in Aix anytime soon?

I found a bottle of Rouge Bleu at le Felibrige and loved it.
