| Wine- Maker Notes | |||||
| With its fine crimson colour with hints of fuchsia, this is a subtle wine with aromas of fresh red fruit and sweet spice. Light and balanced wine with a very pleasant lively and fresh finish. It's a perfect match to Pyrenees veal, potato cakes, rosemary lamb, vegetable pate, Nantua style fish balls. | |||||
2007 Fouquette, Cote de Provence (750ml) |
$15.00
|
||||
| Wine- Maker Notes | |||||
| Fouquette's Rosé des Maures is a cuvée blended especially for JW Selections. This wine is comprised of the classic cépages Grenache and Cinsault, but accented with Rolle (called Vermentio in Italy and other Southern France appellations), which adds citrus aromatics, crisp acidity and a touch of minerality to its red counterparts. Côtes de Provence Rosé des Maures, 60% Grenache, 30% Cinsault, 10% Rolle | |||||
2007 Lascaux, Languedoc Rose (750ml) |
$15.00

| Steve Tanzer's International Wine Cellar 89 | |||||
| Medium pink. Blood orange, cherry and cinnamon on the nose. Medium-weight red berry and bitter cherry flavors are enlivened by juicy acidity and sweetened by a hint of spun sugar. Fleshy red fruit flavors are ripe but dry, with good back-end energy and lift. Clings nicely on the finish, which leaves behind a strong red berry preserve quality. I'd serve this with roasted or grilled birds. | |||||
