French Rosé Wine: Dry, Pale Provence Pinks for Warm Afternoons

Popular French Rosé Styles

Provence is the heart and soul of our range. Blending Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah, these are the pale, dry rosés the whole world tries to imitate, all strawberry, citrus and a delicate savoury edge.

From the sun drenched Languedoc come easygoing, fruit forward pinks, while the Rhône is famous for Tavel, a deeper, fuller rosé with real presence and spice.

The Loire adds its own softer, gently fruity style, and you will even find a few elegant rosé Champagnes for when the moment calls for bubbles.

How to Serve French Rosé

Serve French rosé well chilled, around 8 to 10 degrees, straight from the fridge. A white wine glass lets its delicate perfume open up.

Drink it young and fresh, ideally within a year or two of the vintage, while all that lovely fruit is at its liveliest.

Food Pairing Ideas

Pale Provence rosé is the ultimate aperitif, lovely on its own or with olives, seafood and a Mediterranean spread.

It also shines beside grilled fish, salads, goat cheese and light summer dishes, while a fuller Tavel can stand up to grilled meats and richer fare.

What Makes Provence Rosé So Special?

Provence has been making rosé for over 2,600 years, longer than almost anywhere on earth, so it has had plenty of time to perfect the craft.

The signature is that barely there pale pink colour, drawn from the briefest skin contact, paired with a bone dry, crisp and elegant style. It is a rosé built for sipping in the sunshine, and it remains the benchmark every other region measures itself against.
