Aramon

Pierre Cros - 'It was one of you, passing by the winery last summer, who nourished the idea in me to name this new Rosé wine. It’s the first harvest of this vineyard planted with old grape varieties of the Languedoc in 2011. This is an assembly of “commoners” - Aramon, Piquepoul, Morrastel and Rivairenc - accompanied by the so-called “noble” grape varieties Cinsault and Grenache. From this blend, this assembly, this gathering, this mix... of all these varieties, a wine with an evocative name was born...'

"I remember you, Grandma, the simple dishes that you cooked for us: your Provençal tomatoes, or stuffed ones... your eggplant gratin... I also remember the way you revisited the leftovers from the day before. .. A delight Grandma! It's surely the dose of love that you added to it that made all the difference... I'm trying today to do the same thing as you with 'commoner' grape varieties without fuss, that we would be proud of having on your table."

On the sound advice of 'Uncle Jo', who's bowing out after 40 harvests, we preserved a plot of Aramon, an ancient grape. Round, colourful, lively, this Rosé is an homage to this forgotten grape and... Uncle Jo!

The unloved ones. Forgotten grapes; Alicante, Aramon, Piquepoul Noir, Morrastel, Rivairenc and Carignan. Well worth discovering! Unique wine with nose of red fruits and spices, a generous mouth, fresh and velvety on the finish. Can be served slightly cooler.
