Distributor's Notes: 90 Points from Antonio Galloni's Vinous: "Limpid orange. Pungent red berry, citrus fruit and floral qualities on the perfumed nose. Offers concentrated tangerine and raspberry flavors that are energized by a spicy suggestion of white pepper. Closes long and chewy, with a strong echo of citrus zest and a sneaky, deeper touch of white peach."

65% Grenache, 30% Cinsault, 5% Rolle. All fruit is destemmed. The rosé is made entirely from direct pneumatic press juice. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. No malo-lactic.

About the Product: This wine is clear and exhibits a litchee color. Its nose is fruity and intense. It has a bright entry, shading toward pleasant, complex flavors of mandarin orange, and with red and black berries that develop in the mouth.

About the Producer: No longer inspired in their former vocations, Isabelle and Jean-Pierre Daziano decided to follow their shared passion in 2007 when they took over the 35-acre vineyard and farm of Isabelle's family. Nestled into a forested plane amid the Massif des Maures mountains, Domaine de la Fouquette sits in the heart of the C´tes de Provence appellation.

With the skillful guidance of consulting oenologist Bruno Tringali, Jean-Pierre established an environmentally friendly, but labor intensive regimen in the vineyard that includes green harvesting in early summer to limit yields, working the soil without use of chemicals, and harvesting by hand. The domaine received its organic certification from Ecocert with the 2013 vintage. In the cellar, the philosphy has been minimal intervention. Fouquette's Rosé d'Aurore, named for the Daziano's daughter, is comprised of the classic Provence cepages Grenache and Cinsault, and accented with the white variety, Rolle (aka Vermentino).

In addition to having final say in the cellar, Isabelle assists her parents with Fouquette's charming auberge. She and her mother tantalize tourists at the 45-seat farmhouse restaurant with traditional Provencal recipes handed down from grand-mere and made only with locally grown or raised products.
