The wine region of Vaucluse
Vast southern IGP between Ventoux, Luberon and the Rhône: signature Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre as fruity, sun-drenched reds with notes of cherry, raspberry, blackberry, garrigue (thyme, rosemary), Mediterranean spices and a peppery touch, supple tannins and a moreish finish. Cinsault and Carignan in support. Signature fresh rosés (strawberry, citrus). Viognier, Grenache Blanc and Clairette in whites.
The wine region of Méditerranée
Vast IGP of south-east France (Provence, Vaucluse, Var, Corsica, Ardèche), 75% rosés. Fresh, fruity rosés with signature notes of strawberry, raspberry, citrus, white flowers and a Mediterranean touch, taut and thirst-quenching on the palate — the quintessential sunny aperitif. Supple reds blending Grenache, Syrah, Cabernet and Merlot (red fruits, garrigue, spice), full whites of Viognier (apricot, flowers) and Chardonnay. Generous everyday wines, expression of the south.
The word of the wine: Rosé de saignée
A method of making rosé wine that consists of partially draining a vat of red wine after a few hours of maceration. The longer the maceration, the stronger the colour. This practice gives rich and expressive rosés.
