When the weather turns hot, nothing quite hits the spot like a chilled glass of rosé, preferably sipped alfresco with friends.
Long considered a summer-only tipple, with orders peaking in the warmest months before petering off completely by mid-October, rosé has “become a must, of equal importance to Champagne,” says Rosewood European sommelier Xavier Thuizat, who heads the team at Hôtel de Crillon and was voted best sommelier in France for 2022.
Luxury groups and wine professionals certainly have caught onto its seasonless appeal.
Her top tip to build your knowledge of wines when drinking is to “pay attention to what you’re feeling. That’s how you’re going to create your [own] wine language.” Remember: As vintages age, the wine “will tire itself out, oxydize and ‘die,’ which means it will take a nutty flavor,” he explains. Fruitier wines will do well in a picnic setting, such as the Instant Rosé IGP from the Château Maïme. Barbecues, on the other hand, will call for a fuller body and more structured wines like the Chateau de Sanne in the Luberon region, according to Forget.
Not only that but “to achieve the right aromatic [development] for a rosé wine, you need agriculture that is precise, respectful of nature so without chemical fertilizers,” he continues. If three weeks are necessary for a red wine’s initial steps, it’s only 48 to 72 hours for a rosé, and winemakers need to be alert to find the perfect point at which to move on to maturation.
