Château Guiot
Costières de Nîmes Rosé 2008

This delicious Rosé from the Rhone was recently feautured in Food & Wine Magazine as one of the "Top 10 Thanksgiving Bottles" and we couldn't agree more! We love dry Rosés for their versatility and pure enjoyment, and the Guiot delivers on both accounts. Located at the mouth of the Rhône River, where the Provence, Rhône and Languedoc regions all join, this estate is energetically run by Sylvia and François Cornut, who are dedicated to producing super wines in their Provençal surroundings. This wine should receive serious consideration for your Thanksgiving table!

The Château Guiot Rosé has an electric pink color, deeper than most Rosés, and displays an intense nose of rose petal, bing cherries and ripe strawberries. Supple and harmonious, this wine exhibits the fresh cherries that are also grown on the Estate property.

This is a family-Estate. Sylvia is the winemaker here, but she is always quick to point out - ‘If François brings me good fruit, then I can make good wine.’ François, along with their two sons Alexis & Numa, do all the vineyard work. Their secret to making terrific rose begins in the vineyard at the start of the growing season. They designate parcels for producing fruit exclusively to make Rosé. Younger vines, slightly higher yields and harvesting earlier than for their estate reds are key to the fruit and freshness found in this terrific Rosé. We promise this is a crowd-pleaser! Not sure? You can sample this wine on Friday, November 20 at our free store tasting!
