Trésor du Dragon AOP Rosé

The Tresor du Dragon is the vineyards jewel in the crown, beautifully clear pale pink rose. Elegant and delicate nose of apricot with notes of sweet spices. Lively palate, dense and round ending on a citrus note. 750cl

A gourmet wine, which goes well with Mediterranean cuisine. High up in the hills of southern France, above the Côte d’Azur and the crowds at Cannes, you’ll find the cool, terraced vineyards of Domaine du Dragon. The estate’s curiously chalky soils and high-altitude perch translate into wines both refined and complex yet still offer exceptional value.

While much of Provence is a patchwork of different terroirs, this corner near the town of Draguignan is unique in that it is almost exclusively limestone, more commonly found in places like Burgundy. Cooling winds whip through the forested valleys to moderate the southern sun, so grapes are not only perfectly ripe but also balanced. Yet Provence would not be Provence without rosé, and it’s here where Dragon sets itself apart from the pack of tourist-pleasing (and often overpriced) pinks. The area’s chalky soul and cool character is expressed clearly in Dragon’s lively blend.
