Gilbert & Gaillard

Langedoc AOC Le Rosé

Pretty in pink, this fuller bodied rosé is equal parts savoury and fresh, a crispy wine chock-full of ripe red fruit and all mourvèdre’s spicy, gamey nuance. This is quintessential Mediterranean French rosé, a perfect partner to a host of dishes that hail from the same. Bouillabaisse anyone?

Winemakers Note:  “Very fine citrus and white flowers on the nose. The palate shows great exuberance and is also very well-structured. The gorgeous citrussy nose aromas are also emphasized. A rosé for gourmet lovers.”
