Villa La Vie En Rose Négrette Rosé (Vin de France)

Floral scents of carnation, peony and baby's breath lead the nose of this delicate rosé, supported by fruity notes of white cherry and wild strawberry. The palate is light and easy, with a pleasant citrus-pith flavor that unfolds on the finish.



Négrette is one of the best grape varieties of the French Southwest for producing rosé wines. As this native grape variety is mostly planted to the north of Toulouse, we have given this blend a name that renders homage to the famous "Ville Rose". Its pale, delicate colour, its very fruity, expressive style and its characteristically refreshing nature makes this rosé a polyvalent and festive wine

Full and refreshing on the palate, with the acidity and richness bringing out the very pleasant aromatic range, reinforcing the first impression on the nose. These bewitching fruity notes will make you see the world through rose-tinted glasses... "La Vie en Rose" as they sing in France...
