This is the only rose still wine in our book. Enjoy this $665 wine as the Europeans do - on a hot summer day with light cuisine.

Rose wines can be a delightful compromise between a light red or white wine. In France, many wine growing regions have their own rose wines that they tend to drink locally and seldom export. A cheap rose is sweet and disgusting, while a good rose should be quite dry and refreshing. The Les Jamelles, Cinsault, 2000 fits the latter description. It has an attractive light strawberry color. This dry wine offers tastes of raspberries and unripe peaches. Overall this is a very refreshing wine that's very suitable for Taiwan's hot climate. Enjoy this wine with Bouillabaisse (Southern French Style Fish Soup), salad Nicoise and Chilled Sardines. This wine also matches nicely with Japanese food or can be enjoyed as an aperitif. Serve this wine well chilled, about 8 ℃.

One of a new bread of wine producers from the Languedoc-Roussillon region of Southern France, Les Jamelles is turning out an impressive range of single variety wines at reasonable prices. The company's wines have helped raise the visibility and prestige of this wine-growing region.
