Menetou-Salon Morogues Pinot Noir Rosé
Menetou-Salon, Central Vineyards, Loire Valley, France
Just concluded the annual Fall seclusion at our cabin in the Rangeley lakes region of Maine, mobile service up there is mostly non-existent, after several days I am posting again. Notes are somewhat brief, as my focus is relaxing and watching the Common Loons swimming and diving in the cove in front of our camp.
Nose has ripe peach, cut cherries, tangerine peel dry sandstone and moist hay.
Palate has strawberry, peach, lime wedge, tart cherries, dry-sandy soil and a long finish. This bottle is just holding wonderfully and as fate would have us, we're enjoying our last bottle of the vintage.

Nose has mashed cherries, orange peel, tangerine flesh, ripe green melon, ripe peach, dry sandstone and hay.
Palate has tart strawberry, tart cherry, lime wedge, grapefruit peel, (minor) under-ripe yellow melon, dry-sandy soil with a long finish.
Acidity is amazing, even better than the fresh (current) bottles! Light tannins with faintly drying finish. I'm glad this is a rosé that gets plentiful purchasing in our household, as a couple vintage wait is highly rewarding. Unfortunately we're almost to the end of our '17's, scant reminants in the cellar. 😔 Total happiness delivered at $15!

On the Lawn at Tanglewood this afternoon with the Tanglewood Music Center Orchestra, the youths (mostly college)! Our conductor Andris Nelsons is leading one operatic work from WAGNER (Die Walküre, Act II & III). This is our WAGNER weekend with the BSO, Act I was performed last night.
Consistent notes from our last experience. After having the 2018, we prefer where the 2017 it's drinking at this stage, just a little bit more relaxed.
Round and beautiful on the palate, all stainless in the process so distinct fruit notes. Cold chalk, cherry skin, minor orange zest, green melon, light tannins, very enjoyable strawberry finish, great value as a neighbor to Sancerre for under $15.

Been preparing the garden all day for this seasons crops, now time for relaxing. In the low 70's right now, just beautiful weather for rosé.
This bottle is starting to pick up more strawberry aspects, but prior notes still apply.

On the Lawn at Tanglewood this afternoon with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Our conductor Andris Nelsons is leading BRAHMS (Piano Concerto No. 1) with Rudolf Buchbinder on piano and then the wonderful SHOSTAKOVICH (Symphony No. 5).
A fully Loire afternoon 😀!
A beautiful Kimmeridgian soiled Pinot Noir! Very round and beautiful on the palate, all stainless in the process so very clean fruits. Cherry skin, minor orange zest, green melon, light tannins, medium-short but very enjoyable strawberry finish, great value as a neighbor to Sancerre for under $15. Really improving as it warms and gains air time.

Starting to lose its fruit. Nose is funky but tastes more like a pretty, light style of Pinot Noir rose once you get past the nose.
