Coeur de Grain Chateau de Selle Rosé

This rose wine is a blend of all the grape varieties grown at the vineyard. The grapes are hand picked, sorted and then delicately pressed. The wine is then matured in oak barrels. The end result is a very pale orange/pink wine which is both fruity and spicy. Domaines Ott*, Coeur de Grain Chateau de Selle Rosé can be found in many top dining establishments and is often considered one of the best rose wines in the world.

Rouges Comtes de Provence

This elegant red wine has a fresh, fruity aroma and is pleasantly smooth to taste. This wine goes great with a meal, combining well with strong flavoured meats such as duck, veal and beef. The wine is best served at 15/16 degrees C.
