Fontanet Less Terrasses Rosé and Grenache Blanc


So a great Rosé I have come across, a French import, though nevertheless from a local bottle shop, is the Fontanet Less Terrasses. On front page of the website at http://www.fontanet.nl/, you can see the exact colour: what Lucozade used to look like: neon orange! Once again, neither year nor exact French region nor grape varieties are on the bottle, but the website says Languedoc-Roussillon, and Syrah and Grenache. Further Internet information says it is produced specifically in Saint Saturnin and grapes include Carrignan and Cinsault. The perfume is gorgeous, with strawberries, cream and Turkish delight. Because of the colour, I thought of the delightful the palate was blood orange. The white from the same label is not nearly as nice – even though it is a Grenache Blanc, a grape I adored when I first tasted it in a Spanish wine.
