No matter the season, rosé is always delicious. We do drink red and white wine during the winter months, but the pink intermediate form is generally only appreciated when the mercury rises above 17 degrees. Why really? This Gris de Gris is made from red grenache grapes that are pressed immediately after picking. So the colour of the skins barely affects the colour of the wine, which remains very pale pink as a result. With a light grey tinge. This also immediately explains the wine's name.

The grenache grapes grew on chalky stony and sandy soils in Languedoc, near the village of Montblanc, near Béziers. It is a hot area, but the cooling breeze from the Mediterranean helps the grapes ripen evenly. The result is a wine that is simultaneously fresh and creamy. The taste is fruity, mineral and spicy. You taste red spring fruits, a fine bitterness, a touch of minerality and a subtle bitterness in the finish. All this makes the wine powerful enough to stand up to a winter dish. Risotto with mushrooms is delicious with this.
