Château Galoupet - Cru Classé - Côtes de Provence AOC - Rosé 2023

Taste:  On the palate, this rosé is both fresh and round, with a beautiful acidity that perfectly balances the sweetness of the fruit. Flavors of red fruits and citrus are followed by a slightly spicy touch and a long, pleasant finish, revealing a slight salinity, typical of wines from this sunny region. On the nose, it unfolds a complex and enticing bouquet, marked by aromas of fresh fruits such as peach, grapefruit, and raspberry, accompanied by delicate floral notes of white flowers and subtle hints of fresh herbs and minerality. These aromas invite tasting and signal a wine of great finesse.

Pairing: This rosé pairs wonderfully with Mediterranean cuisine, including seafood, grilled fish, fresh salads, and light pasta dishes. It also complements goat cheese or grilled white meats perfectly. Whether enjoyed as an aperitif or with a meal, it is sure to please even the most discerning palates.
