"An estate-focused producer that leans on the Rolle grape to add structure, volume, and age-worthy character to its rosés and whites; its oenologist notes using up to the regulatory 20% Rolle in certain cuvées for extended ripening and barrel-aging while preserving elegance. The team experiments with co-fermentation of Rolle and Syrah to enhance finesse and complexity, producing wines with citrus and floral aromatics from Rolle, red-berry notes from Syrah, a rounded mouthfeel, impressive length, and delicate, pale-rosé hues with lychee-toned nuances. The producer also offers an accessible rosé at an entry-level price point (around $21)." - Kristy Alpert
"An organic winery whose president, Olivier Souvelain, highlights rosé’s festive character and suitability for winter celebrations (Christmas, New Year’s Eve, Valentine’s Day). He also notes that rosé is especially popular at Alpine ski resorts and commonly appears on restaurant and bar menus, reinforcing the idea that rosé can be enjoyed year‑round." - Lola Méndez
