La Petite Laurette du Midi Pays d'Oc Rosé 2022 (France)

Description

• Dry style
• Wild strawberry
• White peach
• Moreish

Sophisticated, dry French Rosé. Pale Provence-style pink, delicately scented by summer fruits (hints of wild strawberry, citrus and white peach) cooled by fresh sea breezes. The bright, elegant palate is at once refreshing, gently sippable and appetisingly moreish.

The person’s name Laurette is derived from ‘laurier’, the laurel or bay tree, whose aromatic leaves are one of the famous ‘herbes de Provence’ and are featured in silver on the label.

Sustainable vineyard management with very low use of pesticide by using a parasite “sexual disorientation” system of tagging vines. Harvested at night into the early hours of dawn, destemmed immediately at the winery before gentle pressing and low temperature fermentation of the free-run juice.

Food Pairing: The ideal chilled aperitif. Appetising on its own. Or serve with nibbles, salads, grilled white meat, shellfish, sushi and the catch of the day as well as steamed or sizzling Asian fusion style dishes.
