Tasting Note:
A quintessential expression of Provence purity, Villa Madeleine Rosé 2025 is both charming and refined, capturing the region’s hallmark freshness with effortless elegance. The nose is delicately perfumed, evoking fennel, anise and violet, layered over a fine mineral thread. On the palate, it is smooth yet vibrant, offering juicy notes of melon, cherry and tangerine peel, lifted by hints of rosewater and a gentle saline edge. The texture is supple and refreshing, with a crystalline acidity that carries through to a subtly spicy, mineral-driven finish. This is a rosé of precision and poise—immediately appealing yet quietly complex—perfect for warm days yet structured enough to elevate a wide range of dishes. Best enjoyed young to capture its vivid aromatics and energy. Drink over next year or two.

Food Pairing:
Exceptionally versatile: ideal with tapenades and pestos, cold meats, fresh salads and gazpacho; grilled vegetables such as aubergine and zucchini or a nice ratatouille; asparagus risotto; seafood including barramundi with fennel, squid and shellfish; beef carpaccio, grilled meats, goat and sheep cheeses, and even cherry clafoutis or lightly spiced Asian cuisine.
