Caves du Château d'AuvernierL'Oeil de Perdrix, sélection tradition 2024

About this wine

This elegant rosé from the historic Caves du Château d'Auvernier showcases the finesse of Neuchâtel's terroir. Made from Pinot Noir grapes, this "Oeil de Perdrix" (partridge eye) is a local specialty that will charm you with its delicate character and refreshing appeal.

On the nose, expect subtle aromas of fresh strawberries and wild raspberries, with hints of white flowers. The palate is crisp and lively, offering flavors of red currants and a touch of citrus zest, balanced by a mineral backbone that reflects the limestone soils of the region. The finish is clean and refreshing, with just enough structure to keep things interesting.

Serve this beauty slightly chilled at around 10-12°C alongside a classic Swiss perch fillet from Lake Neuchâtel, grilled salmon, or a summer salad with goat cheese. It's also perfect as an aperitif on a sunny terrace, paired with charcuterie or light tapas.
