Maison no. 9 – Mediterranee IGP – Rose

Overview: The 61st Grammy Awards were taking place in Los Angeles the following day and Post Malone was wrapping up a long day of rehearsals with the Red Hot Chili Peppers at the Staples Center. Dre London rushed to their next meeting, where their longtime friend had introduced them to James Morrissey. James spent the evening describing a vineyard in the South of France, which was producing the most incredible Ros?? he had ever tasted. Having an affinity for French wine, they talked about how they found themselves and their friends drinking more Ros?? in recent years, but hadn’t found a blend or brand that stood out as their favorite. So, they set out to create a high-quality Ros?? from Provence that encourages good times and sharing with others. Ten days later, the trio was on the French Riviera, sitting at the winery, sampling the grapes. The group fell in love with the liquid, the landscape, and the Mediterranean lifestyle. It took multiple trips and tasting of over 100 Ros?? blends until they found the perfect one. Maison No. 9 was born.

Tasting Notes: The color of this beautiful wine is a stunningly bright and soft shade of pink. Intense and inviting aromas of freshly-picked fruit, strolling through a flower garden. Scents of ripe pineapple, fresh pear and strawberry meet hints of sweet French confections. From the first taste it is zippy, fresh and dances crisp across the tongue. The incredible acidity is met by fresh red and tropical fruits that balance with a clean finish. This dry, classic Ros?? is wonderfully balanced and round with a texture that is mouthwatering and savory.The ideal style of Ros?? for any occasion – this is the perfect pairing with friends. Whether an aperitif by the water or with food, this fresh wine is quite versatile. Great matches to this ros?? include a variety of fresh, meatier fish and shellfish, summer salads from the garden and the classic French roasted chicken.Blend: 45% Grenache Noir, 25% Cinsault, 15% Syrah, 15% Merlot

Pairing: Summer Vegetable Salad with Roasted Chicken, Chilean Sea Bass with a Lemon Herb Sauce
