Galets Rosés
Galets Rosés

A fruity and fresh gourmet wine
The ‘Galets’ are reminiscent of our terroir of rounded stones known as ‘grès’. Sculpted by the moraine of the Rhône glacier in the Quaternary Period, they characterise the Costières de Nîmes in the south of the Rhône Valley. This cuvee comes in all three colours; their robes resemble the shades of our white stones (Galets Dorés), pink stones (Galets Rosés) and red stones (Galets Rouges). The minerality contributes to the balance of the wine.
Galets Rosés is a gourmet rosé with a beautiful aromatic complexity. Fruity and mineral, it unites elegance and freshness.
