This storied winery in the Languedoc is relatively new (for France) with their first vintage in 1978. But way back in 780 CE, Charlemagne's advisor, Saint Benedict of Aniane, founded the first vineyard in the Gassac valley. Yet in 1970, Véronique and Aimé Guibert didn't know what to do with the abandoned farmhouse nestling on the bend of a pine-bordered lane they pictured as a family home... should they grow maize, olives, vines? Family friend (and wine-related geology professor) Henri Enjalbert visited, walked around the Domaine and let them know the ice age scree-covered land was like Burgundy's Côtes d'Or. "It's quite possible to make a Grand Cru here," he told them. So they planted, waited and eventually were rewarded. White wines followed red, then rosé, as through the years more Guiberts joined the team as well.
Winemaker Notes - Lively, vivid rose pink. Pleasant, intense, floral with notes of citruses. Well balanced with freshness combining red currants and berries tight final. Splendidly fresh and long: thoroughly "more-ish." A classy rosé! Perfect with grills, barbecues, salad and fruit dessert. Blend: 50% Cinsault, 30% Carignan, 20% Grenache
