Côtes de Provence is the largest appellation in Provence, known for producing elegant and aromatic rosés. The vineyards benefit from the region's unique terroir, characterized by a warm, sunny climate and the cooling Mistral winds, which contribute to the grapes' balanced acidity and vibrant flavors. The Specially Selected Rosé showcases these characteristics beautifully.
On the nose, this rosé is inviting with delicate aromas of fresh strawberries, raspberries, and a hint of white flowers. The palate is crisp and dry, with a refreshing acidity that makes it incredibly drinkable. Subtle notes of citrus and a touch of minerality add complexity, leading to a clean, lingering finish.
This versatile rosé is an excellent choice for a variety of culinary pairings. Its bright acidity and fruity profile make it a perfect match for light appetizers, such as goat cheese salad, bruschetta, or grilled vegetables. It also pairs wonderfully with seafood dishes like grilled shrimp, tuna tartare, or classic bouillabaisse. For a heartier meal, try it with roasted chicken or a Provençal-style vegetable tart. It's equally enjoyable on its own as an aperitif, making it an ideal companion for sunny afternoons and relaxed gatherings.
