2025 Rameau d’Or Rose, Cotes de Provence

From the sunlit vineyards of the Côtes de Provence, Rameau d’Or Rosé captures the effortless, breezy charm that has made Provence rosé a global favourite. Produced in a region shaped by limestone soils, Mediterranean sunshine and cooling sea breezes, the wine is crafted from classic varieties such as Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah, delivering a style that is fresh, aromatic and quietly refined.

A pale salmon pink with delicate copper hues glows in the glass. Aromas unfold with wild strawberry, raspberry and white peach layered with citrus zest, rose petal and a subtle herbal lift. There is an immediate sense of brightness and elegance.

The palate is dry and silky, delivering red berry and citrus flavours framed by crisp acidity and a gentle mineral line. Notes of cranberry, pink grapefruit and a faint saline edge build through the mid palate, leading to a long, refreshing finish that feels both clean and composed. Best enjoyed in its youth while its freshness and vibrancy are at their peak.

Grilled prawns with chilli and garlic, tuna crudo with citrus and olive oil, or a platter of burrata with ripe tomatoes and basil spread across the table. A spin of Serge Gainsbourg or something sun soaked from Polo & Pan, even a touch of Debussy drifting in as the light fades, the wine bringing that unmistakable Provençal ease to the moment.
