Reserve de Marande Cinsault Rosé
WHY WE LOVE IT
- The Reserve de Marande range offers seductive and generous wines, produced in southern France, in the Languedoc-Roussillon region.
- This particular Cinsault was crafted from perfectly matured grapes to create a fruity rosé that will bring the Mediterranean sun into your glass!
Varietal Composition: 100% Cinsault
Elaboration: The grapes are harvested at night when the temperature is cool, in order to keep the grapes fresh and avoid oxidation. The juices go through a gentle pressing before they ferment at a low temperature, enhancing the varietal’s elegant aromatic profile. The wine ages on its fine lees at least two months. During this time it is stirred periodically, giving the wine a smooth texture. This winemaking method delivers a juicy wine with lovely fruit aromas.
Tasting Notes: Pale pink in color. Ripe aromas of strawberries and sweet raspberries. Fresh, juicy with a harmonious overall impression.

PRODUCER BACKGROUND
The Réserve de Marande range offers seductive and generous wines, produced in southern France, in the Languedoc-Roussillon and Gascony region.
Although the Languedon-Roussillon region is home to two big mountain ranges, the Pyrenees and the Cevennes, it also benefits from the Mediterranean climate. With its coastline bordering the area on the South, it brings hot and dry summers after the rainy winters, favoring a perfect maturity of the grapes. In the mountains, the humidity and cool temperatures helps the vines produce grapes packed full with fruity aromas. In this area, the various climates, soils and reliefs means the different varietals express themselves in unique ways.
The Réserve de Marande range of wines has been crafted by a key figure, that participated in the renewed success of Southern French wines. Philippe Lebrun studied winemaking and oenology in the heart of the Burgundy wine region, where he learned the importance of the terroir and its strong influence on the wine style. He particularly excels to craft single varietal wines, where the terroir expression is at its best.
He crafted Réserve de Marande range as he believes in the true potential of the Gascony and the Languedoc regions in producing extraordinary wines, that truly reflect a singular terroir. Bringing his experience and know-how to craft genuine wines, Philippe succeeded in improving quality and taste, thanks to a rigorous selection in the vineyards and a perfect control of the winemaking process. Vintage after vintage, he continuously strives to create tremendous wines, with passion and dedication.
