Les Beaujolais Beaujolais Rosé Les Griottes

Very original, Beaujolais rosé is great to surprise and impress your friends. Ideal for the summer months, friendly patio meals, relaxed barbecues in the garden and Asian cuisine.

Personality of the cuvee

We started making rosé in 1985, at that time it was a real rarity in the Beaujolais region. Pierre-Marie has never made his rosé by bleeding (that is to say, drawing the juice off a tank of red Beaujolais to make it more concentrated) but has always vinified it as a wine in its own right. This rosé is a warm wine that evokes a basket of fruit.
