Sparkling and Rosé Swiss Wines
Sparkling & Rosé Swiss Wines
A number of sparkling wines are made in Switzerland, many using the
Methode Traditionelle
production technique, identical to that used to make Champagne and
Crémant de Bourgogne
. The principal grape variety used is Chardonnay, which makes very refreshing sparkling wines of high quality. Rosé wines are made from a number of different grape varieties, including Gamay and Pinot Noir - which is used to make the famed
Oeil-de-Perdrix
Rosé wines, which originated at Neuchâtel, and whose name comes from the very pale pink colour said to resemble that of a Partridge's eye. Swiss Rosé wines are generally light and fruity, and make excellent summer wines. Chilled, they make a great apéritif, and are also good with pasta and spicy dishes.

Rosé de Pinot Noir de Peissy 2004
Oeil-de-Perdrix
Bernard Rochaix
Les Perrières
Peissy, Geneva
Ref: 410013R
This Rosé, made from 100% Pinot Noir, is an extremely pale rose-petal strawberry-red - supposedly the same colour as the eye of a partridge, from where it takes it's name. It has light fruity aromas, and a good fruity flavour and relatively full body for a rosé. Good honeyed aftertaste. Chill to 8-9 degrees, and drink as an apéritif, or with grilled meats, veal, poultry, or spicy Asian foods.
OUT OF STOCK - New vintage available soon.

St. Jodern-Kellerei

Ref: 411034R
Dôle Blanche is a rosé wine made, as is the case with red Dôle, from a mixture of Gamay and Pinot Noir grapes. This example has a light salmon pink colour, with a delicate fruity nose redolent of strawberries. On the palate it is soft and very slightly off-dry, full-bodied, and with good structure. Good length.
Sold out.
