Description A striking bottle for your table and a delicious drop for your glass. Provence is the world epicentre for pale, sophisticated pinks that deliver delicate citrus and summer berry flavours, with real elegance. And L’Art Provençal is a classic of the style. Perhaps that shouldn’t be surprising as the region has an ideal climate for refreshing rosé, with twice as much sunshine as London – yet relatively moderate temperatures even in the height of summer. This delightful pink is from the Bréban family’s domaine, high in the hills of the Côte d’Azur. Their vineyards are surrounded by wooded hillsides and have a south-facing aspect with excellent, well-drained soils to help keep flavours concentrated. Rounded with savoury, subtle fruitiness, it’s spot on with poached salmon, salt and pepper squid or on its own.
