The 2020 rosé is surprisingly balanced. On the nose, primary aromas continue to develop. Still a bit dense and collected, but only a few months are needed for it to relax, lie down and provide the palate with its bouncy persona, and finish with the saline finish that characterises it. A unique wine that has become a classic at the Domaine, and one that we have been working on for the past 40 years. It goes perfectly with colourful and inventive dishes full of sweet and rare spices. A four seasons rosé; ethereal, refreshing and fruity in the first few months and then more mineral, complex, long and structured. Red mullet, bottarga, saffron, Spanish ham, anchovy purée, Roquefort and roquette produce a delicate and fine pairing with the wine. Asian cuisine, raw fish, garlic and white meat also go well together.

However, the beauty of the site, at an altitude of 300 metres overlooking the scrubland of Provence and the Mediterranean, and the wine they had sampled, persuaded Catherine and Henri to utter the words that were to thrust them into a new life: "We're interested i
