Maison Lorgeril is a sustainable family-owned winery located in the Languedoc, France. They have been producing wine since 1620, making them one of the oldest wineries in the region. Vines backed against the Massif Central offer stunning views of the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean. This rosé is made in the classic regional style with a blend of 60% Grenache, 30% Syrah & 10% Viognier.  Note, if you fancy a visit, they also offer tours, tastings and overnight stay at Château de Pennautier #wineryvisit

▫️Pours into the glass the softest of rose gold summer peach.

▫️Swirl and a burst of summer aromas of red berries, ripe stone fruit, zesty grapefruit and tangerine, lavender, rose petal, honeycomb as well as a subtle savory element of garrigue add to its perfumed appeal.

▫️The first sip is oh so refreshing. The acidity cuts through the bright fruit flavors like waves hitting the shore. The raspberry, strawberry and cranberry dominate followed by zingy citrus, apricot & peaches, mid palate rich honey, a touch of salinity, subtle thyme and rosemary with earthy notes that add to its complexity and lengthy finish. Such a delightful balance of freshness, fruit and subtle savory herbal element.

It is fruit-forward and crisp, gastronomic and structured, just energetic...a serious contender for summer sippers pool side or deck dancing BUT let’s not forget the oddles of food pairing options.

Pair with grilled halibut steaks with herbed citrus butter, a “seacuterie” platter, chicken bacon avocado bites, lahmacun (Turkish spiced lamb flatbread), or goat cheese, spinach and strawberry salad.

Follow along their journey @maisonlorgeril @bichotfamily & many thanks for this supper summer sipper. Santé
