Hailing from the vineyards on the coveted south side of the Sainte-Victoire mountain, with pebbly limestone soils and a large diurnal range, renowned for the airy freshness this climate imparts to their accomplished rosés. Enhanced by elements from vineyards in the central Var, adding length and complexity
Night harvested followed by gentle direct pressing and partial liquid maceration (stabulation), before temperature controlled fermentation. The wines are protected with inert gas throughout the winemaking process. Vegan-friendly.
A pale rosé with peachy reflections. The nose reveals white fruits, reminiscent of sun-kissed vineyard peaches, accompanied by herbaceous Provençal garrigue and a hint of mint. This evolves into a burst of vibrant orange and zesty clementine. On the palate, a silky texture is complemented by a mouth-watering mineral note, perfectly reflecting its provenance.
A seafood superstar, this elegant rosé is perfect for dishes like grilled John Dory or fresh sashimi. It also pairs nicely with fine red meats or vegetarian dishes such as marinated tofu and chopped vegetable salad. Desserts like matcha ice cream or a crispy apple tarte make an excellent match for this refined rosé.
JAMIE GOODE, WINEANORAK.COM - "Beautifully packaged this has a slight smoky, spicy framing to it that’s really attractive. Delicate, nicely focused and seamless, with tangerine, fine herbs, a twist of black plum and some cranberry brightness on the finish. Lovely wine. 91/100."
