Château de Pampelonne 2004 Red (Côtes de Provence)
This red, from the Saint-Tropez area, is a blend of 40% Grenache, 40% Syrah and 20% Mourvèdre. It yields wonderfully complex notes of garrigue and dried spices, but also warm black cherry fruit and supple tannins. Round in the mouth and easy to drink even at this young age.

Château de Pampelonne 2006 Rosé (Côtes de Provence)
With its elegant presentation, this is the perfect bottle for summer white tablecloth dining. Made by the cooperative of Saint-Tropez, the lifestyle and the fruit-driven quality of the wine, with super-ripe raspberry flavors, coincide well.

Château de Pampelonne 2007 Rosé (Côtes de Provence)
A blend of Tibouren, Cinsault, Grenache and Syrah, this is exactly the kind of authoritatively flavored yet nicely balanced rosé that Provence is famous for. Peach, cherry and melon scents all mingle easily, finishing with clean, minerally accents that invite another sip.
