Tasting Notes

Pale pink in color, pale rose petals, bright and clear. Fine and delicate on the nose, with white fruit aromas combined with citrus notes and floral nuances. The attack is ample. We find the delicacy of the nose, and a real substance on the palate well balanced with a persistent freshness. The finish shows violet notes.

Winemaker Notes

LES SARRINS Rosé set out to leverage Bruno Paillard’s expertise in the region, to produce a wine that is Pure Provence. A wine that shows off the best attributes of this appellation, making it synonymous with the greatest Rosé in the world. Only grapes from the top parts of the AOP are selected for our production. The grapes are gently pressed producing a beautiful light pink color and vinification takes place in stainless steel tanks at moderate temperatures to reduce malolactic fermentation. The result is a fresh, bright, floral Rosé of beautiful balance.

Winery Notes

Domaine des Sarrins derives its name from the word “Saracens”. For centuries, Saracens occupied the Massif des Maures, from which they launched raids into the surrounding region. In the 11th Century, during one of these plunderings, they met with some resistance and a chief Saracen was wounded at Draguignan. Whilst trying to reach the Massif des Maures he died at this place where he owned a small tower. He was said to have been buried in his armour, made of gold. Over the centuries all around this Saracen tower, which subsequently became a country estate, were precious resources and a domaine was established. Many trades were practised here according to the changing cultures, from olive groves to livestock to silk worms and of course …. vines. From the end of the nineteenth century and again from the First World War, the rural exodus considerably weakened the countryside, and the domaine became smaller. In 1995, the Paillard family bought it and by working patiently, over the years, have infused a new sense of life.
