Announcing our 2022 Cultivar Rosé

Summer in a Bottle: Rosé Wine with Chocolate Pairings

As the sun sets lazily over the horizon, casting a warm glow across the sky, there’s nothing quite like sipping on a glass of rosé wine to encapsulate the essence of summer. Picture yourself lounging by the pool, a gentle breeze caressing your skin, and the tantalizing aroma of ripe strawberries and jasmine lingering in the air. This is the experience that awaits you with every sip of this exquisite rosé wine – a true embodiment of the season captured in a bottle.

A Symphony of Flavors

With each pour, this rosé wine unfurls a symphony of flavors that dance delicately on the palate. Notes of strawberry and jasmine greet your senses, evoking memories of sun-kissed afternoons and leisurely strolls through blooming gardens. But the journey doesn’t end there. As you take another sip, hints of pomegranate, watermelon, white peaches, and nectarines emerge, adding layers of complexity and depth to the tasting experience.

The Perfect Ending: Chocolate Pairings

But what truly takes this wine pairing experience to the next level? Chocolate, of course! The rich, indulgent flavors of chocolate serve as a decadent counterpoint to the light, fruity notes of the rosé wine, creating a harmonious union of flavors that tantalize the taste buds.

For a delightful pairing, reach for a bar of dark chocolate with a high cocoa content. The bittersweet intensity of the chocolate enhances the fruitiness of the wine, while its velvety texture provides a luxurious finish to each sip.

Alternatively, opt for a milk chocolate truffle filled with a creamy ganache – the smooth, melt-in-your-mouth consistency of the chocolate perfectly complementing the creamy finish of the wine.

Whether enjoyed on its own or paired with culinary delights and decadent chocolates, it’s a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of French winemaking. So why should you buy it? Because it’s not just a wine – it’s a celebration of summer encapsulated in a bottle, waiting to be uncorked and enjoyed. Cheers to sunshine, laughter, and unforgettable memories!

Remember, the golden rule: your wine should always be sweeter than your chocolate to avoid a pucker finish.
