Château des Ferrages, Roumery, Côtes de Provence

Son of a gun: an elegant and beautifully-presented Provence rosé

 You walked into the party
Like you were walking onto a yacht

- Carly Simon, You're So Vain (1972)

The sun is shining, the days are getting warmer and the sap is starting to rise. Time to get the Provence rosés out; this one is a Dickie Greeleaf of a wine - easy-going, expensively assured and unassuming.


Château des Ferrages, Roumery, Côtes de Provence, 2018 (£17.67, Blanco & Gomez) strawberry, citrus and peach with freshness and good underpinnings. Elegant, supple and understated

Thoroughly enjoyable

Drink as an aperitif or match with salads, seafood, grilled chicken or pasta.
