A Provence rosé with a bit more to it. Still pale, still dry, but with slightly more body than the usual examples. Fresh red fruit, a saline edge and a clean finish make it an easy, reliable bottle. Organic farming keeps things straightforward and balanced.

Sourced from vineyards in the Calanques area near Marseille, right on the Mediterranean coast, this picks up a subtle sea-spray character alongside its fruit. The blend of Grenache, Mourvèdre, Cinsault and Syrah is fermented in stainless steel to keep things focused. Expect notes of citrus, white peach and light red berries, with a mineral, slightly savoury edge and good acidity running through it.

The name “Les Calanques Bleues” comes from the coastal inlets that shape this stretch of shoreline. The vineyards are certified organic, farmed with a long-term view of soil health and balance. It shows in the wine as clarity rather than weight.

This is flexible. Chill it properly, or don’t worry too much and drop an ice cube in if that’s how you want to drink it. It holds together well either way.

Food Pairing

Grilled fish, salads, chicken and simple Mediterranean dishes all work well. Also good with lighter pasta or a spread of cold meats.
