Our Tips for Choosing Your Rosé Wine
France is the leading producer and consumer of rosé wines. Originating from Provence and having conquered the rest of France, these pink-tinted wines come in many shades of pink and flavors across our regions.
Rosé is a wine made from black grapes that produce white grape juice (e.g., Pinot Noir). It is not obtained by mixing white and red wines or blending different wines (except for Rosé Champagne), but rather through a short maceration of these black grapes in their white juice.
Through this process, red fruit aromas (among others) are subtly extracted from the grape skin while only lightly coloring the juice. This is how winemakers achieve the typical pink hue.
Rosé, a summer wine enjoyed on its own or with food
Rosé is synonymous with festive moments and summer aperitifs. Naturally, it pairs well with many shared dishes: hummus, chorizo, tapenades, barbecues, or even rillettes. For these dishes, opt for fresh rosés with red fruit aromas: they lighten the palate and enhance the flavors with a gentle fruity note.
Rosés with citrus notes, on the other hand, can pair well with fruit-based desserts.
But rosé wines also have a role to play in gastronomy, especially grand rosés such as those from Bandol (Provence), Tavel (Rhône Valley), or Riceys (Champagne). These rosés pair wonderfully with your fish and light meats in sauce: guaranteed to surprise your guests!
Which regions produce rosé wine?
All wine regions with black grapes that produce white juice can make rosé. However, each French wine region has different grape varieties and may adopt varying techniques. This gives us a wide range of different rosés across France.
The regions producing the most rosé are, of course, Provence and Languedoc-Roussillon. However, excellent rosés can be found in all of France’s wine regions: the Loire Valley, Alsace, Bordeaux, the Southwest, the Rhône Valley, and more.
Contrary to popular belief, the best rosé wine is not necessarily the lightest in color: different grape varieties and methods produce different aromatic profiles. A light rosé will generally be lighter, while a darker rosé will have more fruit, simple as that.
