Provence Rosé Wine
It’s for a good many reasons that Provençal rosé now serves (and is served) as the default pink to be enjoyed whenever the sun comes out. Or even if it doesn’t come out. Typically, a luminous, pale, wild salmon pink, aromas of delicate, gentle red fruit and pepper and chiselled, mineral elegance briskly driven on the palate, there is often nothing so perfect as a good Côtes-de-Provence rosé. Here we also taste a more ethereal side of those blockbuster, red southern Rhône varietals: grenache, syrah, carignan, cinsault... Sit down with a plate of shellfish and decent bottle from our selection and those fields of lavender and azure horizons don’t feel so far away
