Le Gris de Garille Rose 2017

Provence is renowned for its fancy, onion skin rosés, but just to the west, away from the glitterati and superstars, the Languedoc produces a similar style of elegance and berry scented charm. Nicolas and Miren de Lorgeril own the beautiful Château de Ciffre, tucked away in the rocky Languedoc hills. Since its purchase in 2007, they have devoted their lives to upgrading the château and vineyards. Their scented hillsides are strewn with vineyards and ‘garrigue’, the natural olive, pine and wild herb flora that can’t help but lend wines their own special wildness. It lies close to the medieval walled city of Carcassonne and is a fresh, modern interpretation of classic southern France. Utterly delicious on its own and versatile with food.
