Rosé Wine from France – Elegance and Refreshment in Every Drop

Rosé wine is the epitome of summer, joie de vivre and French elegance . With its refreshing taste and beautiful pink colour, French rosé is one of the most popular types of wine in the world. France is known for producing some of the finest rosé wines, especially from the iconic wine regions of Provence, Loire, Rhône and Languedoc , where the climate and terroir create the perfect balance between freshness, fruit and finesse.

How is rosé wine made?

Rosé wine is primarily produced by short skin contact , where the grape skins are only allowed to soak in the must for a few hours or days. This gives the characteristic pink color and preserves the wine's fresh and delicate flavor profile .

The main grapes in French rosé

French rosé is often made from a blend of several grape varieties, each contributing unique flavor notes:
🍇 Grenache – gives fruity notes of strawberries and raspberries.
🍇 Syrah – adds depth and spicy nuances.
🍇 Cinsault – ensures finesse and lightness in the wine.
🍇 Mourvèdre – contributes structure and complexity.
