From this estate founded in the 13th century comes a finely made wine. Its dryness combines well with great flavors of red currant, raspberry and lime. It is delicious with food or as an apéritif.

This medium-hued rosé drinks more like a white wine, with stony, mineral scents, light body, melon and citrus flavors and a tart, stony finish. Worth trying this summer as an apéritif or with fish.

Salmon grey in color, here’s a rosé with structure. With its dusty tannins, flavor of pink grapefruit and young, cranberry flavored fruit, this needs time – put a bottle aside for 2008.

Here’s a more serious Provence rosé, with a nice mineral streak and good depth of flavor. There’s red berry fruit upfront that turns a bit confected in the mouth, winding down to a taffy note on the short-to-medium finish. Perfect with a meal of grilled fish.

An intensely herbal wine, smelling of the garrigue where it is grown. It is lean, firmly tannic with high red fruit acids, and a dry structure. It’s rustic, reminiscent of old-style winemaking.
