Description

Stylish and laidback, Esprit Gassier offers a glimpse into the bohemian lifestyle. Esprit Gassier is made from a blend of Syrah, Grenache, Cinsault and Rolle. This Côtes de Provence from the Sainte-Victoire is vinified using direct pressing and fermentation at low temperatures in order to preserve the aromas in the fruit. Esprit Gassier is a delicately pale wine in shades of peach. The nose is very expressive with fruity notes such as white peach and fragrant white pomelo. A well-balanced, smooth wine, with lovely peachy aromas, superb length and notes of yuzu zest on the finish. Esprit Gassier makes the perfect partner for a salmon and mango poke bowl, pan-seared shrimp skewers, Provençal vegetables à la plancha, or quite simply as an aperitif.

The 2023 Rosé Esprit Gassier is bright, vibrant and juicy. A bit more tropical andmineral-driven on the nose than Gassier’sother cuvées, it jumps from the glass withbeautiful pineapple, blood orange, grapefruitand crushed rock aromas. A fresh cherry juicetartness coats the mouth, while lovely minerality lends complexity. Textural, creamyand balanced, the 2023 would be perfectlypleasurable on its own or at the dinner table.This also represents the most affordable winein the Gassier lineup-a tremendous value.
