Arômes des Maures

This « Rosé de garde » revives an old tradition of our estate: a rosé made from tannic grapes and vinified for 4 months in 3-4 year old barriques. We call it "passage en fûts". A rosé for all year round, fresh, with a beautiful structure and elegant as to its very suttle notes of oak. Recalibrate your palate to appreciate a whole different complexity and richness! Begin a beautiful journey into the land of spices and flowers, to the land of our Arômes des Maures, named after our region. 

The colour is pale, bright, apricot with silver flashes.

The nose is full-bodied and deep, with sweet aromas of coconut, vanilla and coffee enhanced by a spicy, buttery, roasted note.

On the palate, the wine is well-balanced, well-structured, with finesse, length and a fine balance, accompanied by the sweetness of coffee and vanilla, leaving a sapid, lingering finish.

In terms of food and wine pairing, forget about barbecues and picnics and turn to other ideas for pairing this rosé. Choose exotic and spicy food which pairs well with ginger or pepper, ceviche, Moroccan dishes and more particularly the Vietnamese cuisine with its finesse, lightness and its subtle perfume of aromatic herbs (coriander, peppermint, Thai basil). Of course, this wine is always a superb alternative to a fresh and light red wine to accompany any kind of meat.

If you love cheese we recommend a full-flavoured Gruyère from Switzerland or a mild Comté from the French Jura.

For dessert, we like sweet and salty treats with the Arômes des Maures such as a tarte tatin with salted caramel and lavender or a dark chocolate with lemon.
