The 2024 L'Olibet Rosé is a fresh, Provence-inspired rosé from the foothills of the Pyrenees in the Languedoc, crafted from a classic blend of Grenache and Cinsault. Fermented entirely in stainless steel to preserve its vibrant fruit and crisp freshness, the wine captures the relaxed elegance of southern France while offering exceptional value. Pale salmon pink in the glass, the nose is bright and inviting, revealing aromas of wild strawberry, white peach and citrus zest layered with delicate floral notes and a touch of sweet spice.
On the palate, it is light-bodied with lively natural acidity and a silky, refreshing texture. Juicy red berries and ripe stone fruit are balanced by crisp citrus flavours and a subtle savoury edge, leading to a clean, dry finish with impressive freshness and finesse. Effortlessly elegant and wonderfully approachable, this is a beautifully balanced French rosé that is equally enjoyable as an aperitif or at the table.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2024 L'Olibet Rosé is a vibrant, easy-drinking rosé that's perfect for warm afternoons and relaxed entertaining. Pair it with grilled prawns, Niçoise salad, roasted vegetable tart, charcuterie, fresh seafood or soft goat's cheese. Enjoy well chilled now through 2027 while its bright fruit and crisp freshness are at their best.
