Both grapes contribute soft tannins and the same easy-drinking style, but with more depth and true southern character. The nose is appealing with chocolate plummy fruit and a touch of pepper, then berry fruit and mellow structure. (12 x 75 cl)

Laroche ROSE de la CHEVALIERE Syrah Grenache Merlot Vin de Pays d'Oc
Description: Tasting Note A gentle, dry rose with subtle raspberry and cherry aromas. The palate is bright and fresh with the fruit balanced perfectly by the crisp acidity in the finish. An impressive, restrained wine with real character. 12% Slightly darker than the pale barely-there rosés from Provencal but lighter on its feet than most New World pinks, Laroche's Rose de la Chevaliere is on superb form in 2006. A blend of Merlot, Grenache and Syrah sourced from across the Languedoc it is just waiting for winter to admit it has lost its bite and usher in really warm weather. In the meantime, it makes a fantastic partner for everything from charcuterie to seafood. A bit about Laroche Chablis producer Laroche have been champions of the South of France for over a decade, since they acquired Mas de Chevalier, near Beziers in 1995.
