Luc Belaire Rare Rosé

Luc Belaire is a French sparkling brand made in the south of France, in the Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur region, and Rare Rose is the bottling that carries its reputation. The wine is a rose from Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah, the classic southern trio, made in stainless steel to protect the fresh red fruit and keep the profile soft. The striking black bottle is part of the brand's identity, and the style inside is generous, fruit-forward and built for sharing cold rather than for the cellar.

The colour is a deep, vivid sparkling rose. The nose leads with strawberry over blackberry and blackcurrant, and the palate is full, with a subtle sweetness, a hint of cherry blossom and a velvety finish. Serve well chilled in a white wine glass. It is popular as an aperitif and in cocktails, and the ripe berry fruit also suits fruit desserts, cold poultry and lighter charcuterie.
