NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Domaine de Sulauze Pomponette Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence Rosé is a delightful rosé wine from the Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence region in France.On the nose, the Pomponette Rosé offers a bouquet of fresh and vibrant aromas. Notes of ripe strawberries, juicy watermelon, and fragrant flowers dance together, creating a captivating olfactory experience. There is also a subtle hint of citrus that adds a refreshing touch.
Upon tasting, this wine reveals its true character. It is well-balanced with a crisp acidity that enlivens the palate. The flavors of red berries, such as raspberries and cherries, take center stage, accompanied by a touch of minerality. The wine's medium body and smooth texture make it a pleasure to sip.
The Domaine de Sulauze Pomponette Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence Rosé is a versatile wine that pairs wonderfully with a variety of dishes. Its lively acidity and fruit-forward profile make it an excellent companion to light salads, grilled seafood, or even a charcuterie board. It is also delightful to enjoy on its own, especially during warm summer days.

ORIGINS
Winery: Domaine de Sulauze
Region: Provence
Nestled in the south of France, Provence is a Mediterranean paradise for wine lovers. With its stunning landscapes, mild climate, and rich history, Provence as a wine region is more than just the home to refreshing holiday rosé wines.
The history of winemaking in Provence dates back to the ancient Greeks, who first planted vines in the region in 600 BC. Since then, the region has become renowned for its unique terroir and its production of high-quality wines. In the 19th century, the region experienced a period of decline due to the phylloxera epidemic, but it has since recovered and is now one of the most important wine regions in France.CUSTOMER RATING
