"Bright, even, pale peach-pink colour. The nose is softly nuanced; delicate aromas of red berries, strawberries interweave a hint of spice and floral. Light-bodied, gentle nuances of red berries, strawberries melded with watermelon, followed by a soft layer of spice dusting and floral. The mouthfeel is silky with dusty, fine-textured phenolics; lacy acidity supports a smooth flow effortlessly. This is a refreshingly light rosé with delicate aromas of red fruit on a fine-textured palate. Serve as an aperitif or match with sushi over the next 2 years" Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Wine Reviews, Oct 2021

Doted with lovely pale pink colour, Les Jamelles Clair de Rose is perfectly balanced, fresh, lively and round, with floral and fruity aromas of raspberry and grenadine.

Clair de Rose embodies the quintessence of a Les Jamelles rosé, though, exceptionally, it is a blend of two grape varieties, Grenache and Cinsault. The result is a subtle wine that is well balanced: elegant and delectable, floral and fruity, fresh and round on the palate.

The grapes for this wine are sourced from diverse terroirs: those from the Herault Valley’s mid-slope vineyards, under the influence of the Mediterranean climate, yield rich, warm, sun-drenched wines; a little further to the south, the sandy alluvial soils around the Thau lagoon basin lend freshness and salinity; while further east, the calcareous clay soils in the environs of Narbonne, where the climate is dry and sunny, yield rich wines.

The grapes are pressed immediately after being harvested. The must is clarified using flotation in order to obtain very clear juice that is then vinified as for a white wine and fermented at low temperatures (15°C). There is no malolactic fermentation.

Food Pairing: Enjoy well chilled (8°C) as an aperitif, with salads, grilled meats, pizza, summer vegetables, or with Asian cuisine.
