Louis Bouillot Perle D’Aurore
In sparkling, this Crémant de Bourgogne rosé vinified in traditional method (the same as in Champagne) in Nuit-Saint-Georges is distinguished by the delicacy of its bubbles, its notes of red fruits, its freshness and its greedy mouth. A treat with a dish of bocconcini basil tomatoes, a tataki of black sesame tuna or a strawberry leaf verrine of mint leaves.

La Vis Pinot Grigio Trevenezie
The Veneto region offers us a dry rosé that shines with its delicacy, with aromas of strawberry and flowers, simple and fresh, clearly a bargain! Perfect for an aperitif or a salmon tartare with subtle aromas as well as pasta, fish or a vegetarian pizza.

Château Beaulieu
Provence, the birthplace of the rosé, is home to pearls, the sunny climate and the terroir helping. This very fresh and elegant Château Gassier wine invites us with its aromas of wild strawberry, red cherry and orange blossom to a crush, it is persistent in the mouth and balanced. It’s called lemon lobster, grilled shrimp or fish with Aioli.

Château La Lieue 2018
The Coteaux Varois in Provence this bleeding rosé (maceration on skins from 2 to 5 hours) fresh with the scent of red fruits and citrus fruits. A fine and enchanting product. Serve as an aperitif on a salade niçoise, a salmon tartare dill and olive oil or a pie with provencal tomatoes.
