Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Luminous litchi pink in color. This wine has an intense fruity and complex nose with mango, white peach, little red berries, some floral notes like white flowers. A lot of presence in the attack with beautiful freshness. Fruity aromas especially the little red berries are very present. The finish is persistent and surprising with some hints of fennel offering a slightly savory finale.

    Rounded and soft, this rich rosé is fruity while also perfumed. The blending of Syrah in the mix gives the wine a sense of power and concentration, making it an adquate partner at the dinner table.

Grand Cros Winery Image
Domaine du Grand Cros is a 25 hectare estate owned by the Faulkner family since 1989. It has consistently been rated as one of the top producers in Provence. In 2005, Julian Faulkner launched the Jules brand that conveys quality and authenticity but unlike Le Grand Cros, it does not seek to be positioned as a luxury brand. Instead it is known for offering unprecedented value as a path to discover lesser known regions and grape varieties.

Whether it’s playful and fun or savory and serious, most rosé today is not your grandmother’s White Zinfandel, though that category remains strong. Pink wine has recently become quite trendy, and this time around it’s commonly quite dry. Since the pigment in red wines comes from keeping fermenting juice in contact with the grape skins for an extended period, it follows that a pink wine can be made using just a brief period of skin contact—usually just a couple of days. The resulting color depends on grape variety and winemaking style, ranging from pale salmon to deep magenta.

Cotes de Provence Wine

Provence, France

View all products

Cotes de Provence is an extensive but valuable appellation that includes vineyards bordering the main Provencal appellations. Its sites vary from subalpine hills, which receive the cooling effects of the mountains to the north, to the coastal St-Tropez, a region mainly influenced by the warm Mediterranean sunshine.

Here the focus is on quality rosé, as it defines four fifths of the region’s wines. Following in the rosé footsteps, a lot of new effort is going into the region’s red production as well. A new generation has turned its focus on high quality Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault and Carignan. Cotes de Provence white wines, which represent a miniscule part of the region as far as volume, are nonetheless worthy of consideration and can include any combination of Clairette, Semillon, Ugni Blanc and Vermentino.
