Espirit Gassier Rosé

Here is a wine that is as elegant as its label. The label is designed by a local artist and is silk screened onto the bottle.

Chãteau Gassier is located approximately 15 miles form Aix en Provence in the heart of the Arc Valley of the Côtes de Provence appellation. The grapes for Esprit Gassier are sourced from neighboring parcels surrounding the estate vineyards of Château Gassier.

2015 Espirit Gassier Rosé

The wine is a blend of 35% Grenache, 30% Cinsault, 25% Syrah, and 10% Rolle.The very pale salmon color makes a pretty glass of rose and compliments the labels design. There are aromas white peaches, cherries and salted minty herbs. On the palate the wine has a medium body and is nicely rounded giving it elegance. On the finish you can feel some of its biting acidity with its delicate herbal ,strawberry and cherry notes. Delicious.
