Costières de Nîmes: Château Roubaud Rosé 2022
The Molinier's dry Costières de Nîmes rosé wine is blended from 50% Grenache Noir and 50% Syrah. It has quite a full-bodied palate so it stands up well to a garlic-rich aioli or spicy merguez sausages - ideal for picnics and barbecues.
The Costières de Nîmes rosé from Château Roubaud is a deep coloured wine, with ample red berry fruit aromas that give way to a rounded, redcurrant palate prior to a long, dry finish.
