{"product_id":"rose-merlot-cabernet-bordeaux","title":"Rosé | Merlot\/Cabernet | Bordeaux","description":"\u003cp\u003eChâteau Grand Renouil, and the broader Ponty family holdings, date back to 1938, when Jean Ponty and his wife Jeanne purchased the property in Saint-Michel-de-Fronsac, building on the family's original estate at Château du Pavillon. Today the estate is run by fifth-generation winemaker Hélène Ponty on the coteau de Fronsac, farmed according to organic principles even though formal certification hasn't yet been completed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eL'Eclairée is a Clairet, one of Bordeaux's oldest and rarest wine styles, representing barely 1% of the region's total production today. Unlike a standard rosé, Clairet gets a longer skin maceration, typically 24 to 48 hours, giving it a deeper color and more structure than a typical pink wine while staying lighter than a red. Made from Bordeaux's classic red varieties, it's a direct descendant of the medieval \"claret\" that the English prized for centuries before Bordeaux shifted toward darker, more tannic reds. Expect a deep rosé-to-light-red hue, ripe red fruit flavors, and a touch more body and grip than a typical Provençal-style rosé.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a distinctive taste of Bordeaux's own winemaking history, a style nearly lost to time now finding its way back into circulation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David's Wine Cellar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42633745236050,"sku":"83-9-2025","price":33.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/davidswinecellar.com\/products\/rose-merlot-cabernet-bordeaux","provider":"David's Wine Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
