About This Wine


La Belle France

Rosé

Did you know that Rosé wine is produced not by blending red and white wine but by leaving the red wine and skins in contact? Grape skins contain color, the inside of the grape is colorless. As a result, the color of a rosé wine will depend on which varietals are used, how long the skins and the juice are in contact, and at what temperature they commingle. Flavors and even aromas are also drawn from the skins during this very sensitive process. Our winemakers followed a lighter, Provençal style approach to making our Comté Tolosan Rosé. Scroll through the image carousel above to learn more about this wine.

Wine Region


Comté Tolosan

For unpretentious but boldly flavored wine, look no further than Comté Tolosan in the southwest of France. This sprawling region is bordered by mountains—the rugged Pyrenees to the south and the Massif Central to the northeast—with the Atlantic Ocean providing maritime influence from the west. Most Comté Tolosan wines come from along the banks of the Garonne River, where well-drained terraces help grapes develop a deep concentration of flavor. Malbec and Sauvignon Blanc are the most popular grapes here, but you will also see plenty of rare red and white blends made from local grapes like Tannat, Colombard and Petit Manseng.

"Faintly brassy color and clean, direct fruit that would be amenable to delicately flavored seafood. I would like to know more." - Mike Dunne, 2020 Critics Challenge International Wine Competition.
