Producer

Domaine Saint André

In the heart of Languedoc , facing the town of Sète and Mont Saint Clair, cradled by the Lagoon of Thau, the Domaine Saint-André, with an area of ​​30 hectares, brings together all the traditional grape varieties of the Languedoc ( Cinsault, Carignan, Chardonnay, Muscat, Roussanne, Vermentino and Viognier ), to which are added certain Bordeaux grape varieties ( Merlot and Cabernet Franc ). Its vineyard benefits from a Mediterranean climate tempered by maritime influences. Its soil, predominantly clay-limestone, is conducive to the production of excellent quality wines.

Tasting Notes

Very pale salmon pink in the glass. The nose is very elegant, with delicate aromas of fresh raspberry and strawberries. Hints of rose petal. The palate displays a lively start. The rich mid-palate offers a delicious fruity sensation, with a long expressive finish and mineral notes

Food Matches

Enjoy this wine chilled, as an aperitif or with Lobster salad, ratatouille on toast, salmon gravlax, traditional Tielle sétoise: squid and tomato pie

Vinification

Here, the emblematic Grenache grape is dominant. The grapes are harvested early in the morning using manual and machine picking. In the cellar, the grapes are directly pressed. After 48 hours of static settling to give a pale salmon colour, the clarified juice slowly ferments for 15 days in stainless steel tanks. The wine is drawn from the tanks to age on its fine lees, with regular bâtonnages.

Press Comments

James Suckling, 2024, 90 points: "A fruity, juicy and succulent rose showing notes of tangerines, grenadine and apricot yogurt. It's medium-bodied with plenty of volume on the palate. Well rounded with a succulent fruit character and a focused finish. Drink or hold."
