Château Grande Cassagne, owned and operated by Benoît and Laurent Dardé, is situated on the western edge of the Rhône Valley near the village of St. Gilles. Their vineyards are planted on an ancient riverbed covered with cailloux, or round weathered stones.
The Dardé brothers are well known for their exemplary red wines of deep concentration. However, their best-kept secret may be their Rosé. Made from three grapes, the wine exudes red fruits and a strawberry perfume. This Rosé is a blend of 60% Grenache, 35% Syrah, 5% Mourvèdre and comes from tiny berries of forty-plus year old vines. Fermented a short time on its skins, it retains an electric pink color, soaring aromatics, and fully dry palate. Serve chilled!
Vintage 2011 was a fine vintage for rosé wines in the south of France. A blend of 70% Grenache, 15% Mourvedre, and 15% Carignan, this is a satin-textured, medium-bodied wine with delicious red as well as black fruit flavors. This wine displays a lovely color and aromatics; a round, succulent texture that makes the well-balanced red fruit dance on the palate. Dry, medium-bodied and absolutely delicious all the way to the lip-smacking, fruit-filled finish. Try this with shrimp, red snapper or spicy foods – you’ll be in for a pleasant surprise. Fresh and delicious!
