Winemaking is a delicate process which operates the selective extraction of juice and protects the color and the aromas. It determines the identity of the future wine. Control of the low temperature fermentation allows as well the smoothness and the delicacy. The final balance of the Rosé d'Anjou will be defined at the tasting to achieve a real harmony between sweetness and acidity, revealing the varietal aromatic character (strawberry, citrus ..) and fermentation (sweet candy pink flower. .). Fermentation is followed by a long stay on fine lees to bring the maximum delicacy and subtleness.
No malolactic fermentation. No oak
To be served chilled (10-12°) with barbecued meats, salads, any spicy food, poultry dishes and of course apetizers.

GOLD MEDAL - 2019 Concours Paris
Charles Thomas Cotes du Rhone Rose is made from 50% Syrah, 50% Grenache.
This juice is a light pale salmon color. On the nose you will find the classic strawberry along with hints of watermelon. Bright, focused and balanced on the palate with ripe red fruit flavors. Overall an amazing value on a refreshing Rose.
Review:
"The 2017 Sainte Victoire Côtes de Provence Rosé is a rock star of a rosé and comes from one of the top appellations in Provence, Sainte Victoire. A blend of 50% Grenache, 30% Syrah, and the rest Cinsault, it has a beautiful array of orange blossom and crushed citrus, with a distinct salty minerality that develops with time in the glass. Medium-bodied, with high yet integrated acidity, it has a great texture as well as ample length on the finish. It can stand on its own on a summer day but will also shine on the dinner table."
