Oeil-de-Perdrix (Rosé of Pinot Noir)

“L’Oeil de Perdrix,” which translates to “eye of the partridge,” is a historic name that originated in Neuchâtel during the Middle Ages. It refers to the delicate, pale pink hue of the wine, reminiscent of the faint blush in a partridge’s eye. The style has since become a hallmark of Swiss rosé winemaking, particularly from Pinot Noir, celebrated for its finesse and elegance.

Bouquet: Fresh aromas of wild strawberries, redcurrants, and rose petals, lifted by a subtle mineral note.

Palate: Crisp and refreshing, with flavors of ripe raspberry and citrus zest. A lively acidity balances the fruit, resulting in a clean, elegant finish with a subtle hint of salinity.

Pairings: Perfect as an aperitif, this rosé also shines with summer fare—grilled vegetables, Mediterranean salads, seafood, and soft cheeses. Its refreshing style makes it a versatile choice for warm days and festive occasions.
