While Languedoc rosé may lack the sexy appeal of Provence, better examples can at least as good as those from its southern French counterpart. This particular wine, from the Faugères appellation, is a class act.
A blend of Cinsault (60%) and Syrah (40%), it delivers attractive aromatics that combine orange zest, apricot pulp and dried herbs allied with typical red fruits. Vibrant and lively, it is a delicious rosé that simply says ‘drink me’. What more can one ask?!
