· 15 best rosé wines for every palate, tasted-tested by an expert. John Clarke
From a stunningly situated vineyard perched on the edge of the Mediterranean at Cassis comes the best rosé for seafood, from lobster to langoustine. Pale pink and made from grenache, cinsault and mourverdre grapes, it benefits from bright but not showy red berry and ripe stone fruit flavours allied to a crisp but not too flinty minerality. It'd probably best consumed where the grapes are picked, on the beautiful slopes of Cap Canaille, near the Arène beach in Cassis. But if you can’t manage to make it there, then a bottle bought here should bring some of that magic home.

Une belle expression du grenache qui minéralise avec un grain particulier et une très belle texture. K.VALENTIN
Is this really the proximity of the Mediterranean that’s reponsible for this lovely saline breeziness? Lovely delicate texture. J.ROBINSON
Coup de cœur 2024. Issu de grenache, cinsault et mourvèdre, ce rosé ravi les papilles par sa bouche saline et fruitée, enrichie de petites notes d’épices douces et d’amers bien intégrés. Un vrai beau rosé de repas tout en finesse. G. LEMOUEE, mag. “A table”
