Elephant and Castle

A serious rosé with a strong personality.

Beautiful pale salmon colour with an appealing lemon and herb nose followed by flavours of warm southern French herbs with rich, rounded fruit.  Very much a food wine with a powerful character and a delicious dry finish.

Domaine Lafran Veyrolles is an estate with a superb terroir and is widely recognised as one of the top three producers in the appellation. Jean-Marie Castell runs this small, traditional estate with just 10 ha of vines on the famous red clay soil of Bandol.  The estate nestles in and is protected by the hills of the Cadière d'Azur and benefits from a maritime climate. The estate is farmed organically and the yields are kept extremely low. Domaine Lafran Veyrolles reds have made it one of the star performers of the appellation … but don’t overlook the rosé wines as they deserve attention too!

Presenting a nice and beautiful colour, this is an intense wine, with red fruits notes on the nose. Well-structured, it shows plenty of strawberry and raspberry flavours, combined with pepperish sensations. The end of mouth is fresh and balanced, with a long and pleasant aftertaste.

A great way to discover Sauternes-like sweet wines. Wonderful aromas of melon, peach and honey. The palate is well balanced, very generous with a lot of exotic fruits and apricot. The finish is as long as with a good Sauternes. Awesome value sweet white!
