With cheese

Tomme d'Arles Our pick Tomme d'Arles is a fresh sheep's cheese, melting and delicate. A pale rosé from Les Baux or the Coteaux d'Aix, with pink grapefruit and watermelon over high acidity, refreshes without hiding the sheep's milk. Androuet lists Provence rosé among its wines.

History

Direct-press Coteaux d'Aix rose from across the 110-hectare estate. Pale colour from minimal skin contact and stainless-steel ageing for freshness.
