Versant Rouge
Red WineProfile:
Our vines have been carefully chosen to complement the characteristics of the local terroir. Originally established in 1835, the estate boasts a beautiful, hilly location.
Tasting notes:
Made from grapes grown on the southwestern slopes of our estate in pebbly soil that is among the richest in the Rougemont area. The deep crimson Versant Rouge is a blend of Frontenac Noir and Marquette grapes. The bouquet is dominated by aromas of black fruit, blueberry jam and blackcurrant with spicy undertones. The mouth is fruity and full-bodied, with a hint of roasted cocoa, followed by a firm mineral finish.
