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.

The word of the wine: Cryo-extraction
This technique was very popular at the end of the 80's in Sauternes, a little less so now. The grapes are frozen before pressing, and the water transformed into ice remains in the marc, only the sugar flows out. As with the concentrators, the "cryo" can also increase bad taste and greenness.
