Christmas Rosé

Magali Combard’s wines from Figuière have quickly become a go-to on our list. Her signature cuvée is so well balanced and refreshing, you’ll be reaching for another glass in no time. It is pale salmon pink, and has a beautifully expressive nose, with notes of fresh citrus, strawberries, and dried herbs. The palate is silky smooth, with a fresh pink grapefruit energy. It is the perfect Provençal rosé, and a brilliant price.

Dark pink in colour, this rosato is a serious rosé that has a lot going on in the glass and a breadth on the palate that makes it a perfect pairing with food. Summer fruits combine with pomegranate and citrus peel. Juicy, refreshing acidity, and a long saline, mineral finish. Delicious!

Triennes is a long-time favourite, always reliably delicious, and just the ticket for the summer. It is a lovely red fruit-lead, thirst-quenching rosé from this ever-popular southern venture from two of Burgundy’s greatest domaines: DRC and Dujac. The de Villaine and Seysses families invested here many years ago, seeing the potential in the region to make great value and delicious, easy-drinking rosé. Perfect for summer drinking.

Domaine Lafage, situated between Perpignan and the Spanish border in Côtes Catalanes, Roussillon, has been run by Jean-Marc and Eliane Lafage since 2001. The estate, with 7 generations and its two centuries of winemaking history dating back to 1798 prides itself on producing fine and elegant wines from the mosaic of vineyards in this dry, windy and rugged landscape. The 2024 Miraflors rosé is a blend of 30% Mourvèdre, 30% Grenache Noir and 40% Grenache Gris. Grown on terraced plots along the coast and aged in concrete, it is decidedly Provençal in style. It is juicy, with pure strawberry, citrus and orange peel flavours. The wine has a distinct minerality, with a deliciously fresh, slightly spicy finish.
