Classic Rosés - the best pink wines of France
Details
It’s time to think pink again, as the weather improves and the long warm evenings scream for a cold glass of fruity freshness.
But rosés are not just frivolous summer tipples. The best examples are world class, due to the history of the regions, geography of the landscapes and technical innovations going back centuries.
Let’s learn all about it as we taste some of the best bottles in France (and by extension, the world):
Clairet from Bordeaux – the OG
Tavel - the only specialist rosé AOC in France
Bubbly from Alsace
Loire Valley – the spiritual home of rosé
Provence – the more recent standard-bearer
Languedoc – the new pretender
As well as these classics I have a randomer as usual to liven things up.
I maintain that pink wines are great with food, so I’ll supply some dips, seafood, cheese and other snacks to prove it!
This really is the last word in rosé wine tasting, so I hope to see you there.
Cheers, Sean
