Stores are now stocking some of the tastiest, summery wines and this slightly different flavour is one of them.
The newly launched organic rosé was produced from its vineyard in Languedoc.
Made from a blend of 50% Cinsault, 40% Grenache Noir and 10% Mourvèdre, Le Météore is available to purchase in the UK from today from the Domaine du Météore website, with an introductory offer of 2 free bottles when you buy 4.
Domaine du Météore takes its name from the 200 meter-wide meteorite crater, which struck a hillside in southern France over ten thousand years ago.
Today, Domaine du Météore’s vines grow within and around its crater.
High up in the Languedoc mountains, the domaine spans the schist soils of Faugères and Saint-Chinian, which are surrounded by garrigue, with the scent of wild thyme, fennel, and mint.
Domaine du Météore makes organic wines inspired by the land and its history.
Le Météore is a pale, organic AOP Faugères rosé with a slight rose flower tinge, made from grapes grown within and around the crater.
The blend is delicate with aromas of raspberry, strawberry, and grapefruit with a touch of white pepper.
Owners, Dr Paul Jenkins and Dr Paul Jarman say: “We are delighted to be launching Le Météore Rosé in the UK. Our aim is to create wines that truly give a sense of terroir and Le Météore is no exception.
The distinctive minerality found in the wines, due to the schist soil and high altitude, helped we believe by a little cosmic space dust from the meteorite, brings an elegance to Le Météore which we think consumers will love.” Le Météore rosé is launching to consumers online via the Domaine website here and as single bottles from Delivered Drinks from July.
A variety of the Météore wines cuvées are stocked at Stone, Vine & Sun, Haynes Hanson & Clark, Les Caves de Pyrene and the whole range is available to buy at www.domainedumeteore.com
