They continued along their way as far as Cape Verde and set off to take the Atlantic Ocean by storm. After a short stopover at Bélem in Brazil, they sailed back up to the Caribbean with a stop at Barbados and in the Dominican Republic. They left the warm waters to head for the Azores and then Falmouth in the United Kingdom. The journey could have ended there but, keen to explore the world, the wines sailed back up the North Sea as far as Amsterdam and Copenhagen. Having had their fill of sea air and gorgeous landscapes they finally returned to Douarnenez. A year later “Retour des Îles” is available for the Christmas holidays. The tasting – Back from the trip – September 2014 Its robe is dark garnet and dense. It has powerful aromas of very ripe red fruits. The mouth is remarkably well-balanced, round and full-bodied, long and full. It offers a fine expression of the fruit accompanied by supple, melted tannins. It is a harmonious and very expressive wine already, with wonderful potential for laying down. Famille Amoreau de père en fils depuis 1610, l’authenticité par le vin.

Home News Our wines Our vineyard Medias Contact Us EmilienBarthélemyRetour des îlesBlaise-AlbertMarie-CécileMarie-ElisaRose-MarieAuthentification This wine is obtained by running off juice from one of the vats of Merlot during the fermentation process, a practice known as ‘la saignée’. The juice is then fermented in barrels for six to ten months, with no added substances. The rosé is then bottled without filtering and without sulphites, leaving us with a perfectly natural wine. The robe can vary greatly from one year to the next, from sparkling ruby to crisp, clear rose. The nose is fresh and floral, with red fruit aromas alongside notes of peonies and white flowers. On the palate Rose-Marie is light and playful, with tannins so light they are barely detectable. A wonderful clairet, or Bordeaux rosé.
