Tasting Notes/Cheese Pairing

Provence would not be Provence without rosé, and it’s here that Dragon sets itself apart from the mass produced (and often overpriced) pinks. High up in the hills of southern France, above the Côte d’Azur and the crowds at Cannes, you’ll find the cool, terraced vineyards of Domaine du Dragon. The unique soils and high-altitude perch translate into wines both refined and complex yet they still offer exceptional value. While much of Provence is a patchwork of different terroirs, the Dragon vineyard near the town of Draguignan is unique in that it is almost exclusively limestone, more commonly found in places like Burgundy. Cooling winds pass through the valleys moderating the southern sun, so grapes are perfectly ripe and balanced. Tresor is the premium rose produced, 6 gold medals and well deserving on everyone. A beautifully clear pale pink rose. Dry style. Elegant and delicate nose of apricot with notes of sweet spices. Lively palate, dense and round ending on a citrus note.

A gourmet wine which goes well with Mediterranean cuisine. Pairs well with goat cheese and aged gouda.
