We are delighted to share our range of 2022 Rose wines. Before showcasing our selection, let’s take stock of the weather conditions throughout the 2022 vintage. Similar in many ways to the 2020 vintage, 2022 in south-eastern France witnessed an early growing cycle. Wet weather conditions throughout Spring and the month of June gave way to a hot and particularly dry summer, with occasional storms in the middle of August and early September. These conditions throughout the back end of summer were ideal and enabled the grapes to ripen beautifully right up to the harvest.
Cotes de Provence, Loire Valley, Sancerre and more: the plentiful and high-quality harvest produced delightful rose wines that boast an incredible balance and freshness. These 2022 rose wines will seduce all wine lovers with their lively aromas and the exquisite expression of their terroir.
