With summer upon us and a newfound focus on home grown holidays, we’re delighted to introduce a range of offers that showcase the parts of our list that are tailor made for the great British getaway. Today’s offer looks at four rosés – a pair of ravishing Champagnes and two southern French belles. There’s something about a glass of pink that immediately speaks of sun kissed lunches, carefree afternoons and rosy cheeked evenings after a day on the coast. Pierre Paillard and Philipponnat both make exceptional rosé Champagne, perhaps unsurprisingly given their positions in Bouzy and Mareuil sur Ay - hotspots for some of the region’s finest Pinot Noir. Against a background of increasingly expensive rosé Champagnes, these both offer seriously well-made fizz, at wallet friendly prices.
Venturing south, Saint Max is a newcomer to our list, a Provençale pink produced for us by the team at Mont Redon. This is a crisp, classically styled rosé with a clean nautical look and an immensely refreshing profile. Anyone in search of a great value Provençale rosé need look no further. Journeying west to Pezenas, Domaine Montrosé has for a long time been our go to Southern French rosé producer. The Coste family, with over 300 years of history in the area, has recently succeeded in converting its operation to 100% Carbon Neutrality; such stewardship and respect for their lands is born out in wines of great purity and finesse. Today’s offering is a party rosé par excellence – a pale pink Provençale lookalike for less than £8 bottle all in.
