2024 Rameau d’Or Rose, Cotes de Provence

Rameau d’Or Rosé from Côtes de Provence is a pale, elegant dry rosé that embodies the timeless charm and finesse of southern France. Made predominantly from Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah grown in the sun-drenched limestone and clay soils of Provence, this wine delivers that signature Provençal balance of delicate fruit, floral lift and mineral poise.

The grapes are harvested in the cool of early morning to preserve freshness, gently pressed to extract just the palest colour, then fermented at low temperatures in stainless steel to retain aromatic purity and a crisp, clean profile. The style is classic: understated yet full of character.

The nose opens with notes of wild strawberry, white peach, rose petal and citrus zest. On the palate, it is light and graceful, with flavours of redcurrant, melon, pink grapefruit and a touch of sea breeze minerality. The finish is dry, refreshing and quietly persistent, making it perfect for warm afternoons and long lunches.

Food pairing: ideal with Niçoise salad, grilled prawns, fresh chèvre, roast chicken with herbs, or a platter of olives and tapenade. Also excellent with seafood paella or tomato-based pasta dishes.

Cellar potential: best enjoyed young within 1 to 2 years to preserve its vibrant aromatics and delicacy.
