Rosé wine from France

This delicately coloured pale pink wine is made by Mark Perrin, who also makes Brad and Angelina's famous, and much more expensive, Provençal rosé at Château Miraval.

The inviting floral nose of this blushing beauty offers hints of aniseed and watermelon too, with summer fruits—red apples, strawberry, cherry—on the palate. There's no need to have food with this easy-going and ever so slightly romantic wine, but it does go very well with picnic food, tapas, or a buffet.

Judged top rosé in Irish Times staff tasting with John Wilson, it would make a great alternative to 'red or white' for your next function or get-together.

‘“Smells really fruity, and is a bit more robust, has a bit more body than your usual rosé”, said one taster. This was the most popular of all the wines tasted. Medium bodied, with plenty of ripe but tangy cherry fruits.’
(From the Irish Times magazine, June, 2012)

‘Tried and trusted southern Rhône pink, with masses of light, fruity, yet lip-smacking red berry verve.’

“Always delicious”

“You could drink it from mid-day to midnight”

“More palate grabbing by far than the Provencal Pink norm”
Jancis Robinson

“It’s hard to find fault with this sensational rosé”

The Times

Despite the creepy name, Whispering Angel is one of the most requested wines in our English Market shop, and we are delighted to add it now to our list of prestige Provençal rosés alongside the organic Cascavel and Brangelina's Château Miraval.

In fact, it's so much in demand that for the time being we have to limit purchases to two bottles per customer, in the interests of fairness and because our allocation of this wine is so small, and availability so unpredictable.

There's no question that it's a creamy, precise, full-flavoured example of an enormously popular style of wine, with a string of endorsements from wine critics. Why not splash out and do a little light criticizing yourself?

Dry but rather luscious Rhône rosé, blended from vines that are on average at least forty years old to give a robust wine with raspberry and strawberry aromas, and a clean, well-balanced palate. Its full, fruity flavours make it a satisfying appetizer or a tasty partner for spicy foods, cold meats, cheeses like Camembert and Brie, and even fruit- or chocolate-based desserts.

This prestige bottle from Château Jouclary is a rosé that in looks and contents can give Provence a run for its money.

The ethereal blush of this appellation-level wine is perfectly complemented on the nose and palate by a heavenly cocktail of ripe red berry and peach fruit freshness with a hint of citrus and a crisp, precise finish.

Although it's a perfect summer wine and one to be seen with, it's also a luxurious table wine for light dishes such as charcuterie, quiches or smoked salmon.
