Tasting Note:
The 2023 Rosé de Savoie from Les Rocailles is a crisp, mountain-born rosé that bursts with alpine freshness. Aromas of wild strawberry, red currant, and watermelon mingle with rose petal and a touch of white pepper. The palate is bright and zesty, with juicy red fruit, citrus lift, and a refreshing mineral edge that speaks of its alpine terroir. Dry, lively, and feather-light, it’s the perfect warm-weather companion—vibrant, quenching, and endlessly drinkable.

About the Producer:
Les Rocailles is crafted by the Métral family in the Savoie, where generations have farmed the region’s steep alpine slopes. Their wines capture the unique high-altitude character of the region—fresh, mineral, and expressive of the mountain climate. This rosé exemplifies their focus on precision and purity.
