Belle Glos Rose Oeil de Perdrix Blanc de Noir Rose Wine.
Belle Glos Rose Oeil de Perdrix Blanc de Noir is a Sonoma County rosé made entirely from Pinot Noir, bottled at 13.3% ABV in a 750ml format. Scored 89 points by Wine Enthusiast critic Virginie Boone on the 2020 vintage, this Blanc de Noir stands apart from most rosés because the Pinot Noir grapes are grown specifically with the intention of making rosé — not as a byproduct of red wine production.
Belle Glos produces this rosé by lightly pressing whole clusters of Pinot Noir, extracting just enough skin contact to achieve its signature copper-tinged hue without heavy tannin extraction.
Aroma: Bright and expressive, opening with honeysuckle and Asian pear before developing layers of Fuji apple, vanilla, and orange blossom. A faint strawberry and cherry character adds depth, accented by a subtle hint of mint.
Taste: Citrus-driven notes carry from the nose onto the palate, where bright acidity frames flavors of pink grapefruit and lemon zest. Mid-palate, orange creamsicle richness emerges alongside dried apricot and sweet baking spice, while a medium body and soothing texture keep the wine grounded.
