A masterpiece in pink The grapes for this outstanding rosé wine cuvée come from three different wine-growing regions in the Bordeaux and Bordeaux Superieur appellations. The winemakers at Baron Philippe de Rothschild considered the grapes from the Côtes de Blaye, Fronsac and Sainte-Foy-Bordeaux regions to be best suited for their Bordeaux Rosé. There, the vines grow on gravelly clay soils or on soils interspersed with clay and limestone. The Baron Philippe de Rothschild Bordeaux Rosé is produced using two different vinification methods. Some of the grapes are traditionally pressed directly. For the rest of the grapes, the so-called “saignée method” is used. In the “saignée” process, the mash is left to stand for a few hours or even days to allow color and tannins to pass into the must, depending on the desired effect. In English, the French word “saigner” means something like “to bleed”. Accordingly, the mash is "bled" after the must has rested and part of the reddish must is drawn off and the rosé wine is later obtained. The "saignée" process gives the wine a more intense color than traditionally pressed wines. In addition, they are somewhat denser on the palate. In the Baron Philippe de Rothschild Bordeaux Rosé, the process results in extremely fresh fruit aromas. The three classic Bordeaux grape varieties Merlot (88%), Cabernet Franc (9%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (3%) make up the Bordeaux Rosé from Baron Philippe de Rothschild. It presents itself in the glass with a stimulating candy-pink color. Its bouquet is very fruity with notes of red fruits such as strawberries and raspberries. These fruit aromas are embedded in a fresh touch reminiscent of menthol. Aromas of red fruits also set the tone on the palate. In the finish, this French delicacy then says goodbye with a beautiful length that is characterized by freshness and menthol. Try this exciting rosé as an aperitif or as a perfect accompaniment to summer salads or grilled food.

Organic and of the finest quality La Bélière Rosé from Languedoc in France by Baron Philippe de Rothschild... Sounds elegant, doesn't it? And this wine is. And very tasty too! This dry rosé wine is a fresh and fruity wine that impresses with lots of fruit and soft smoothness. The rosy cuvée consists of a good third of the Syrah grape variety and two thirds of Grenache and Cinsault. It already sparkles in the glass with a beautiful pink color and promises more on the nose, as the bouquet already contains many fruit aromas from citrus fruits such as grapefruit and yuzu to currants. The French rosé wine also keeps its promise on the palate and shines with nuances of red fruit and pleasant tannins. The finish is wonderfully soft and with a hint of citrus and raspberry - an excellent finale to an excellent wine. And this wine has another very special quality: it is an organic wine. This means that it was produced ecologically and with respect for nature. The wine is part of the "La Bélière" line founded by Baron Philippe de Rothschild - the renowned winery's first organic wine project. The organic wine comes from a selection of the best organic plots in the Pays d'Oc and is produced under strict guidelines. Only grapes without chemical additives are used and the preservation of soil fertility and biodiversity also play an important role. This feature contributes to the already high quality of the wine. We can only enthusiastically grab it and enjoy the delicious rosé. Try it for yourself!

The finest French winemaking art: The Cazes family name is one of the greats in the world of wine. Originally from Bordeaux, the family moved to the Rhône Valley in 2006, where they have been producing very high-quality and fine red wines ever since. But the Cazes' exquisite Rhône range also includes a Côtes du Rhône suitable for everyday use. Try it! The Cazes Côtes du Rhône Réserve is made in the traditional way in concrete and stainless steel containers. Fermentation begins at 18 - 20°C with a gradual increase in temperature to 28°C. Afterwards, part of the wine (20 percent) matures in wooden barrels (foudres) and the larger part in concrete barrels (80 percent). The result is delicious: The Côtes du Rhône Réserve from the Cazes family has a deep, ruby ​​red color and has pronounced aromas of black and red currants, raspberries and the herbs of the garrigue on the nose. A fine liquorice note is added on the palate. The fruit is concentrated and clear here too. The tannins are soft and ripe, the finish long and elegant. In short: a wonderful red wine to enjoy everyday life to the fullest!

Pink elegance The dry rosé wine Château de l'Aumérade l'Origine Rosé from France impresses with its smooth finish. In this dry rosé, which smells seductively of ripe strawberries and red currants, the three most aromatic grape varieties from Provence in the south of France - Cinsault, Grenache and Syrah - create a successful composition.

Henri Fabre runs his own winery here between Saint-Tropez and Toulon. According to him, it is paradise on earth - and you have to give him credit, Provence is truly paradisiacal.

The vineyards extend over the three charming communities of Sury-en-Vaux, Verdigny and Saint Satur, and the grape varieties grown are Sauvignon for the white wine and Pinot Noir for the red and rosé wine.

The Horgelus family winery is located in the picturesque hills of Gascony and is run by the equally talented and friendly winemaker Yoan Le Menn. His credo is to preserve the wine's fruitiness and liveliness. To do this, he gets up at 3 a.m. during the harvest and uses the cool morning hours to get the grapes into the cellar before the southern French sun starts to burn. His impressively aromatic dry rosé thanks him with lush fruit and fragrant strawberry aromas.

From the papal court to the kings of France, from Balzac to Brillat-Savarin, it has always been believed that Tavel's rosé wines are among the best in France. Today, the Tavel appellation is classified as a cru site, like Châteauneuf-du-Pape or Gigondas. It is the only appellation in the Rhône Valley that produces exclusively rosé wines. Thanks to the lean terroir, the great heat and the character of the grape varieties involved, Tavel can be safely described as the king of rosés - and the M. Chapoutier Tavel AOC as the king of kings. It is of remarkable intensity and substance, glows an inviting raspberry pink and seduces with fresh, fruity aromas and a subtle mineral note. A typical Tavel - very dry and spicy - with the unmistakable Chapoutier signature. This Tavel also convinced the “Feinschmecker”, who named it Best Buy Rosé.

A Chapoutier in a delicate rosé Winemaker Michel Chapoutier is not alone in his opinion that great wines are made in the vineyard and not in the cellar. However, what he brings from the slopes of the Rhône Valley and always bottles with brilliant results is unique, in this case a delicately shimmering rosé called "Belleruche". Another of Michel's rules, namely that only single-varietal wines mature into really great wines, is suspended in this rosé wine. This allows the Syrah, Cinsault and Grenache grapes to form a harmonious combination after the night-time harvest and the subsequent direct pressing. In order to preserve the aroma of the raw materials, the must ferments at a low temperature. It then matures for three to six months in stainless steel containers. The result sparkles in the glass in a light pink. The "Belleruche" rosé tempts with an intense berry scent and hints of exotic fruits such as grapefruit and pomegranate. There is also a hint of menthol in the wine. This southern French wine is fresh, delicate and fruity on the palate, proving the class of its creator in rosé wine too. We recommend the "Belleruche" Rosé with Mediterranean dishes and light salads. Enjoy it well chilled!

In terms of taste, exuberant notes of peach and ripe strawberries meet a lively acidity that gives this dry rosé wine its classic character and finesse. The perfect aperitif on the terrace and an ideal accompaniment to spicy, aromatic dishes.

Bright Bordeaux rosé Rosé wines are becoming increasingly popular. No wonder with examples like the Le Rosé de Mouton Cadet from Baron Philipp de Rothschild! The cuvée made from the traditional Bordeaux grape varieties Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon presents itself in the glass with a wonderfully intense pink color. Its bouquet is carried by red fruits such as currants and juicy cherries. On the palate, then, freshly picked, juicy strawberries and raspberries, wonderfully enlivened by a perfectly integrated fine acidity. Try this Rothschild Mouton Cadet Rosé with dishes with seafood or poultry and convince yourself of the quality of this lively rosé wine. The grapes for this French rosé wine come from the Côtes de Blaye wine-growing region, which is located on the right bank of the Gironde to the north, not far from the city of Bordeaux. In addition, another part of the grapes for Le Rosé de Monton Cadet are harvested in the vineyards of the Entre-deux-Mers wine-growing region, which is better known for its excellent white wines. In the cellars of Baron Philipp de Rothschild, the harvest is then made into wine using the traditional saignée process: the grape must is left on the mash for between 12 and 24 hours to give the end product enough tannins, juicy aromas and coloring. Only by spending this longer time on the mash can enough coloring be released from the grape skins to give the wine its crisp pink-rosé color. The must is then drained. The French describe this separation of must and mash with the term "saigner", which translated into English means "bleed". The saignée process owes its name to this process. At the same time, a small proportion of the harvested grapes is immediately pressed and processed into a finely mineral and very fruity rosé wine. This fresh wine is then blended with around three quarters of the saignée wine and bottled within four months of the assemblage. This gives you a top-class wine that you shouldn't miss out on!

Mouton Cadet in organic quality If you haven't had the Mouton Cadet in your glass yet, you should definitely try this famous Bordeaux wine. Especially in the organic version! The Mouton Cadet Bio Rouge is the first organically certified cuvée from the traditional Rothschild house. The grapes come 100 percent from organic plots and are harvested very carefully. After vinification, the wine rests for 16 months to harmonize its taste. It then shimmers in the glass in a deep, dark ruby ​​red. The nose is invitingly fruity. Notes of fresh blackberries and blueberries follow on the palate. The fruit is accompanied by a fine spice and gentle tannins, which make the wine very round and glide over the tongue with a beautiful aftertaste. Completely sustainable - that is the overall concept of this Mouton Cadet. Sealed with a natural cork, the paper for the labels also comes from sustainable forestry. The bottle is made of recycled lightweight glass and the capsule is also the first of its kind to be recyclable. Organic and that's it. That's the motto of this wine. We think it's a complete success!

...as an aperitif, the star among champagnes! Piper-Heidsieck Brut Champagne is a finely sparkling wine with a fresh finish.

Florenz-Ludwig Heidsieck had nothing less in mind than to produce a champagne worthy of a queen. Nothing has changed to this day. The company, which is still family-run, is part of the select circle of Grandes Marques de Champagne and is one of the most famous champagne brands in the world. Cellar master Régis Camus also contributed significantly to this success. In 2013, he was named “Sparkling Wine Maker of the Year” for the eighth time in a row at the International Wine Challenge in London. An achievement that is unparalleled in the wine world.
