Terrior
Located in the Coteaux du Languedoc appellation, Château de Flaugergues benefits from a warm Mediterranean climate with abundant sunshine and coastal breezes that maintain grape freshness. The vineyard’s rocky, limestone-clay soils contribute a distinct minerality and structure, while the warm days and cool nights allow for full ripening and flavor concentration, creating a rosé with depth and crisp acidity.

Appearance
Pale salmon-pink with a light copper hue, clear and bright, indicating freshness and elegance.

Nose

Palate
On the palate, this rosé is light to medium-bodied with a refreshing acidity. Flavors of red berries, pink grapefruit, and peach are balanced by a crisp mineral edge. The wine’s dry profile and silky texture are complemented by a hint of herbal complexity, adding layers without overpowering the fruit.

Finish
The finish is clean, bright, and mineral-driven, with lingering notes of red fruit and a subtle hint of herbal spice, leaving a fresh, mouthwatering impression.
