Provence’s rosés steal the spotlight, but look beyond this storied (and often pricey) region, and you’ll find world-class pinks tucked away in other parts of southern France. Case in point: N de Violette, an elegant rosé from talented winemaker Nicole McPheeters and the under-the-radar Comté Tolosan region.
In southwest France, Comté Tolosan is part of the Aquitaine Basin, the plains that fall between the Pyrenees, the Massif Central and the Atlantic Ocean. With a long, warm growing season and rocky, well-draining soils, it’s an ideal spot for cultivating vines. The area is also home to a wide array of rare local grapes—like Négrette, the variety behind N de Violette.
Though used primarily to craft varietal reds and red wine blends, Négrette makes stunning rosé. This classic example offers a pretty, pale-pink color, exotic, citrus-tinged flavors and trademark notes of spice and violet (hence the name).
Uncork the wine on its own or serve it with Mediterranean salads, fresh seafood or Asian-inspired dishes. Either way, one sip is all it will take to transport you to the French countryside. Order your share today.
