Luc Belaire Rare Rosé in gift box with 2 glasses

This gift set pairs Luc Belaire Rare Rosé with two matching glasses, ready to give or to open. The wine itself is a French rosé sparkling wine from Provence in south-east France, built from the classic trio of Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah, each grape adding richness, elegance or colour. After a first fermentation in stainless steel that keeps the fresh fruit, the second fermentation follows the tank method for the bead, and a Syrah-led dosage gives a soft, finely integrated sweetness. The black bottle with gold lettering is a familiar sight in the music and nightlife scene the brand is tied to.

The colour is a bright raspberry pink with a fine, long bead. The nose is fruity and floral, with ripe strawberry, raspberry and cherry and a lift of red rose. The palate is creamy and soft, balancing fresh fruit and gentle sweetness, closing long on red berries with a hint of spice. Serve it well chilled in the glasses provided or a white wine glass. It suits light Mediterranean dishes, fresh seafood and grilled vegetables, and its red fruit also carries cold poultry, pork and red-fruit desserts.
