Fabula Grenache Cinsault Rosé Pays d'Oc - Domaine de Belle Mare

A touch of the Mediterranean, captured in delicate salmon pink: Fabula Grenache Cinsault Rosé Pays d'Oc - Domaine de Belle Mare shines in the glass in a bright strawberry pink with glossy reflections. This rosé from the Languedoc appears clear, brilliant and inviting. The first glance already promises juicy fruit, freshness and summery lightness.

On the nose, a fragrant, youthful arc of aromas unfolds. Ripe strawberries and raspberries meet red currants. Added to this are hints of sour cherry and blackberry, finely interwoven with notes of grenadine. Subtle floral nuances recall rose petals and white blossoms. Delicate spicy traces of vanilla and a hint of forest floor bring depth and charm. A fine mineral tone evokes warm stones on a riverbank and lends the cuvée elegant tension.

On the palate, Fabula Grenache Cinsault Rosé Pays d'Oc - Domaine de Belle Mare shows a dry, fruit-driven style. The texture feels light and melting, almost creamy over the clear, lively acidity. Fresh strawberry fruit, juicy cherry and a hint of damson glide across the tongue. A touch of blood orange and pink grapefruit provides invigorating drive. The acidity is finely integrated and carries the wine slenderly, without harshness, into the elegant finish.

The tannins appear only delicately, silky and fine. The result is a rosé with a clear structure yet playful lightness. The aftertaste once again reveals red berries, a touch of vanilla and a fine, spicy finish. The mineral nuances of the sandy and loamy soils trace the finish with cool, stimulating freshness.

Its style is clearly shaped by the southern French terroir. The Languedoc on the Mediterranean combines abundant sunshine, mild winds and the balancing influence of locations close to the river. Warm days ensure ripe, aromatic grapes. Cooler air at night preserves freshness, fragrance and clarity. The result is a rosé that unites aromatic richness and fine tension.

The grape varieties Grenache and Cinsault are an ideal match for this profile. Grenache contributes juicy red fruit, gentle spice and a touch of fullness. Cinsault adds freshness, elegant acidity and an almost weightless lightness. Together they create a rosé cuvée that appears fragrant, stimulating and at the same time remarkably harmonious.

Production of Fabula Grenache Cinsault Rosé Pays d'Oc from Domaine de Belle Mare

The grapes for Fabula Grenache Cinsault Rosé Pays d'Oc - Domaine de Belle Mare come from the Pays d'Oc in the Languedoc. The vineyards are situated close to the river on clay and sand soils. This combination stores moisture and warmth, but also provides good drainage. This allows the berries to ripen aromatically while retaining their freshness.

The Mediterranean climate with many sunny days, little rain during the ripening period and the cooling influences of the river and winds shapes the character. Here, Grenache develops juicy fruit and gentle spice. Cinsault brings finesse, fragrance and lightness to the cuvée. Together, the wine embodies the style of the region: Old World, clear terroir expression, fragrant and youthful.

The harvest is carried out selectively in order to obtain only aromatically ripe, high-quality grapes. The vintners bring the harvest quickly to the winery. There, careful sorting takes place. This is followed by gentle pressing, often after a short period of skin contact, in order to obtain the delicate rosé color. In this way, only part of the color pigments from the skins pass into the must. Bitter substances are largely left behind.

Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Cool temperatures preserve the fine, fragrant aromas and the fresh fruit. The neutral stainless steel allows the varietal character to come to the fore without restriction. After fermentation, the young rosé rests for a while on the fine lees. This phase rounds off the texture and enhances the melting mouthfeel.

Maturation is deliberately carried out without any defining use of wood. This allows the wine to show a clear, precise style. The focus is on freshness, fruit and a fine mineral vein. With this, Domaine de Belle Mare pursues a clear goal: an inviting rosé with high drinkability, clear origin and modern elegance.

Serving recommendations for Fabula Grenache Cinsault Rosé Pays d'Oc from Domaine de Belle Mare

This rosé accompanies light-colored and delicate dishes with stylish ease. The fresh acidity and juicy fruit pair wonderfully with Mediterranean cuisine. As an aperitif, the wine is inviting and makes you look forward to the next sip. With starters featuring herbs and vegetables, it unfolds its full aromatic play.

The rosé harmonizes ideally with dishes such as spaghetti with yogurt-mint pesto. The herbal freshness and the creamy sauce are given an elegant counterpart by the citrusy freshness of the wine. Omelette with salmon and fennel also pairs very well. The delicate smokiness of the salmon and the anise note of the fennel become particularly appealing in combination with the red berry fruit.

Fruity endive salad with nuts and citrus dressing also gains a light, fresh frame from this rosé. Pan-fried trout with ginger and pear makes for an exciting pairing. The fresh acidity of the wine sets a clear accent against the juicy trout and underscores the fine spice of the ginger.

Other suitable combinations include grilled vegetables, light chicken dishes, grilled fish or sushi with mild sauces. The rosé also plays to its strengths with pizza bianca with goat’s cheese and herbs. For cheese, mild varieties such as young fresh goat’s cheese or creamy Brie are suitable.

As an “everyday wine”, it accompanies relaxed evenings on the sofa just as well as small, refined dinners for two. For festive occasions, the elegant color brings a fresh accent to the glass. As a gift, it shows taste and a feel for modern southern French wines.

The ideal serving temperature is around 8 to 10 degrees Celsius. A short time in the refrigerator ensures the necessary freshness. In a tulip-shaped white wine glass, bouquet and color appear particularly clear. Extended aging is not the focus here. In its youthful stage, this rosé expresses its fragrant, lively character most impressively.
