World reference for pale, elegant rosé: salmon to onion-skin hue, notes of strawberry, pink grapefruit, white peach and flowers, fresh, dry, mineral palate, taut finish. 90% of output, the Provençal signature. Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah and native Tibouren in the blend. A few fleshy Mediterranean reds (Mourvèdre, Syrah) and saline Vermentino whites.
The wine region of Provence
World capital of dry, refined rosé (~90% of production). Pale rose-petal colour, delicate nose of fresh red fruits (strawberry, raspberry, redcurrant), citrus (pink grapefruit), white flowers and a mineral touch, taut and thirst-quenching palate — the Mediterranean aperitif par excellence. Blends of Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah, Tibouren and Mourvèdre. Fleshy Bandol reds from Mourvèdre (leather, garrigue, age-worthy), straight Cassis whites.
The word of the wine: Flint (smell of)
Mineral odour reminiscent of flint and flint heated during sharpening.
