La Rose Pauillac 2002 Red | A classic Bordeaux embodying the essence of 24-year-old Pauillac.
La Rose Pauillac 2002 Red | The Ultimate Glass Woven from Pauillac Tradition and the Magic of Aging
La Rose Pauillac was established in 1933 by some 30 vineyard owners who shared the ambition of creating "great Pauillac wine." Located in the heart of Pauillac, one of Bordeaux's leading wine regions, they continue to produce high-quality wine from their 32-hectare estate, nestled among the renowned vineyards of the Grand Cru Classé.
Grapes harvested from old vines with an average age of over 30 years are carefully selected, with 60% picked by hand. Fermentation takes place in coated concrete tanks, and aging is done in French oak barriques (30% new oak) for 12 months. They are committed to a winemaking process that maximizes the individuality of the terroir and the "Pauillac character."
