La Chapelle Gordonne Rosé

Indulge in this coveted rosé, made from the best plots and grapes of Château La Gordonne. Grapes used in this wine are directly pressed to extract on the first juices, called Tete de Cuvee. The juice is then fermented for some time in French oak casks, creating a lychee-pink color. Lovers of pink grapefruit will thoroughly enjoy this rosé, with citrusy notes complemented by linden blossom accents. Smooth, delicate and fresh, this rosé ends with a wild strawberry sorbet taste. A 2022 vintage bottle costs $25.

Pink Flamingo Sable De Camargue Rose Catalina Estrada Gris De Grise Tete De Cuvee

Also originating in the Camargue region of France, this rosé is a blend of 100 percent Grey Grenache, giving it a lighter color. Upon first sipping this rosé, your tastebuds will tingle with elements of lemon and other citrus fruits. You’ll even notice a hint of saltiness, as the grapes used in this rosé come from old vines planted in the sand facing the Mediterranean Sea. The bottle itself is a work of art, designed by Colombian artist Catalina Estrada. This rosé is $15.99.
