This rosé is pale pink in colour with purple highlights. On the nose, there are distinct aromas of rose petal, almond and citrus fruit. On the palate there are flavours of redcurrant and pink grapefruit, alongside a very nice fresh and acidic texture, which ends with a very round and fruity side

The domaine has 56 hectares of vineyard and about 70% of the production is red, 20% rosé and 10% white. Of the reds, half of the plantings are Grenache, 40% Syrah and 10% Cinsault and Carignan. Soils are predominantly clay and limestone. The winery has completed its organic conversion and has been certified organic since the 2013 vintage.

Jean-Louis Descours fell in love with Château La Verrerie in 1981, when he was looking for a project to occupy him after retirement. As a result, Jean-Louis purchased the 20 hectare estate and, with the help of his son Gérard, brought it back to life. They constructed a new winery and acquired more vineyards with the sole ambition to make great wine. Their first vintage was released in 1985. Today, Christopher, the grandson of Jean-Louis and owner of Charles Heidsieck, Piper-Heidsieck and Biondi-Santi, runs the estate.
