An elegant, gastronomic Cru Classé Côtes de Provence Rosé, combining delicate floral aromatics, ripe Mediterranean fruit, and a beautifully silky texture.
The 2025 Grande Réserve opens with violet, jasmine and rose petals, followed by vineyard peach, lychee and mango. The palate is generous yet fresh, developing notes of blood orange and subtle spice through a long, velvety finish.
More structured and complex than a simple aperitif rosé, this is a sophisticated expression of Provence, equally at home by the glass or alongside a meal.
