In the glass

Light-bodiedLow tanninHigh acidityDryLong finish

Aroma: wild strawberry, white peach, pink grapefruit, white pepper

Cinsault-led Provencal rose from the Burgundy-meets-Provence collaboration of Jacques Seysses (Domaine Dujac), Aubert de Villaine (DRC) and Michel Macaux. Pale, fresh and reliably structured.

What it pairs with

With cheese

Brousse du Rove Our pick Fresh brousse is tender, creamy and mild, so a light rosé is enough. A pale, light-bodied Provence rosé made in steel, with citrus and red fruit over high acidity, refreshes it. Androuet lists rosé de Provence for this cheese. Poivre d'âne Our pick Poivre d'âne is sweet and fragrant, with a fine, tight paste and a coat of dried herbs. A pale, light-bodied rosé with citrus and red fruit refreshes without covering the winter savory. Androuet lists rosé de Provence for it.

History
