Wine Review: E. Guigal Côte du Rhône Rosé

I have always advocated for drinking Rosé year-round, but I must admit that I enjoy it more during the warmer months, when it pairs well with the lighter fare of the season. Rosé is a flavorful choice to enjoy with grilled fresh fish, pork, or chicken, along with locally sourced “farm to table” produce/products. I am hearing that some sommeliers are even pairing it with steak. Well, that’s interesting. What do you think? Rosé from southern France is synonymous with the daydream of spending a leisurely afternoon relaxing at a sun-drenched seaside bistro while basking in the sights, sounds, tastes, and aromas of the region’s idyllic lifestyle. 

We can’t all just jet off to the French Riviera on a whim, but we can certainly get a taste of the good life by enjoying a nice bottle of rosé. 

E. Guigal is a dependable producer of quality wine from the Southern Rhône Valley. E. Guigal Côte du Rhône Rosé is a classic expression of a well-balanced southern Rhône rosé with delicate notes of citrus and raspberry leading to a medley of red fruit flavors. The beauty of this wine isn’t limited to its color in your glass, but to its budget-friendly price of less than $20, and that you can easily find it almost anywhere.

  1. I totally agree here. Rose’ is something I never considered. But here in the Carolinas where the sun is unmerciful sometimes Rose’ is a welcome drink. With a fresh look and a refreshing taste it is a welcome addition to an afternoon
    You did a nice job here. Glad I found it

    1. I am happy to hear you enjoyed the article and were able to add Rose to your choices for a summertime wine. It has just been miserably hot and humid everywhere this summer. I wonder how it will affect this years harvest and what the wines will be like.
