Pere et Fils Rose | Languedoc, France

£11.40

This blend epitomises the best of southern French rosés: delicate, dry and fresh with fruit-forward flavours and perfect balance.

Made from 70% Cinsault and 30% Syrah the grapes are night harvested and then fermented at a controlled 16-17C  before maturation on the lees.

Laurent Miquel is a family-run estate based at Château Cazal Viel in Saint Chinian, originally acquired in 1791, which had previously been farmed by the monks of the nearby Abbey of Fontcaude. Their drive towards quality began in the 1970s. In 1996 Henri Laurent was joined by his son Laurent, the 8th generation winemaker.

Their wines have been highly praised by Tim Atkin and Jancis Robinson being from “the most reliable and forward looking winery in the Languedoc”.
