Domaine du Pas de l’Escalette Ze Rose

Delphine and Julien own 35 hectares of land with about 20 hectares planted to vines. The vineyards are spread over 50 terraces on either side of the valley of Pegairolles de l’escalette and Lauroux. All vines on the property are head trained, are propagated using Selection Massale and range in age from newly planted to 80 years old. Certified Organic FR-BIO-01 and Certified Biodynamic by Biodyvin.

The estate's rose is a captivating blend of Grenache, Cinsault, and Carignan. The wine is a nice combo of that irresistible Mediterranean citrus that is present in top pink wines from Provence, with a little more tart red fruit. Accessible, dry, and a million miles from the banal rosé that has encroached on our wine marketplace in recent years. Larzac is a distinct place, dramatic, removed in elevation and terroir from much of the Languedoc. Even in this affordable pink wine, Julian and Delphine have captured some of the fingerprint of their landscape. Drink it with garlic shrimp, or a summer vegetable salad.
