Rosé Côtes de Provence from Domaine La Beyssannette


Wine characteristics


This rosé has a pale, almost diaphanous colour with light peach highlights. On the palate, it reveals delicate aromas of exotic fruits such as guava and passion fruit, as well as hints of citrus. Its freshness and balance make it an ideal wine for hot days.


Food and wine pairings


Niçoise Salad

With its notes of tuna, olives, tomatoes and anchovies, Niçoise salad is a summer classic. The freshness and light acidity of La Beyssannette rosé perfectly balance the saltiness of the anchovies and olives while complementing the texture of the tuna.


Salmon Tartare

Salmon tartare, often seasoned with lemon and fresh herbs, finds a perfect companion in this rosé. The wine's subtle red fruit and citrus flavours add a touch of freshness that enhances the delicate flavour of the raw salmon.


Grilled vegetables

Grilled aubergines, courgettes and peppers are an essential part of any summer meal. Rosé, with its light minerality and fruity aromas, goes wonderfully well with the smoky, slightly sweet flavours of grilled vegetables.

Red Côtes du Rhône "Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Boutin" from Domaine La Boutinière


Wine characteristics


This red offers great complexity with notes of black fruit, Zan and roasting. Its tannic structure is very present but remains soft, making it versatile for a wide range of food pairings.


Food and wine pairings


Marinated beef kebabs

The rich aromas of this red go perfectly with beef kebabs marinated in olive oil, thyme and garlic. The wine's tannins blend well with the tender texture of the beef, and its spicy aromas underline the flavours of the marinade.


Chorizo and Pepper Pizza

A pizza topped with spicy chorizo and peppers finds an excellent partner in this Côtes-du-Rhône. The spice of the chorizo and the sweetness of the peppers mingle with the spicy, fruity notes of the wine, creating a harmonious pairing.


Aged goat's cheese

For a simple but delicious experience, pair this red with a mature goat's cheese. The creamy texture and light acidity of the cheese harmonise perfectly with the soft tannins and fruity notes of the wine.
