Provence Rosé — the Benchmark of the Style
When we think of rosé, most of us picture exactly this style — pale, dry, elegant wine from Provence. The blend of Grenache and Cinsault gives delicate notes of red strawberry, watermelon and white pepper.
Tasting Notes
A refined, very pale and clear salmon/pink color (characteristic of high-class Provençal rosé), sometimes with delicate coral highlights.
Elegant, airy and thoroughly enjoyable. It reveals delicate notes of fresh wild strawberries, raspberries and white peach, paired with fresh citrus nuances (lemon zest, grapefruit) and a fine bouquet of white spring flowers, minerals and a light hint of pink pepper.
Exceptionally dry and balanced, with fresh, lively acidity. The texture is smooth and airy, confirming on the palate the tones of red berries, apricot and a gentle spiciness (ginger and spice). The finish is clean, very refreshing and distinctly mineral.
Best served very well chilled at 8–10°C. It’s a classic choice for a refined summer aperitif, but it also pairs beautifully with light Mediterranean starters, fresh summer salads with goat cheese, grilled fish, sushi, seafood (especially langoustines and mussels) and the traditional Provençal Bouillabaisse.
Provençal rosés are made to be enjoyed young, while they retain maximum fruitiness and freshness — ideally within 1 to 2 years of the harvest. Store the bottle horizontally, in a dark, cool place with a constant temperature (between 10–12°C) and away from vibration.
