"A surprising rosé with delicate notes of strawberries enhanced by a hint of saltiness—the ideal table rosé!"

This rosé de saignée from the southern Rhône Valley reveals itself in a grenadine-colored robe. Delicious aromas of wild strawberry, raspberry, redcurrant, and lemon mint mingle in the glass. The palate, supported by lovely acidity, offers mineral and fruity notes, with great fullness, depth, and freshness.

About the estate:

A true pioneer in the qualitative revival of the appellation, this estate has a variety of terroirs, which it uses to create blends that strike a balance between finesse and structure. The wines are of a very high quality and continue to improve. In summer, François and Anne Collard offer walking and mountain biking tours around the property, allowing visitors to discover their terroir and the region's flora and fauna.

Guide Hachette des vins

Rated estate Award-winning wines (This producer's wines are regularly recognized by the guide)

About the estate:

François Collard is a regular feature in the Guide, with wines that often rank highly. Established in 1994, he produced his first bottles from the family vineyards (65 hectares certified organic since 2014) under two labels: Mourgues du Grès, owned by the Ursuline convent in Beaucaire until the Revolution, and La Tour de Béraud, which takes its name from a 14th-century watchtower dominating the vast Beaucaire plain. Never short of ideas, the Collard couple invite visitors to discover all the facets of the estate via a marked trail equipped with Bluetooth terminals.

Note and opinion by Mr. GILLES D. Published on 03/28/2025

Not really convinced by this unique, very distinctive rosé, marked by the predominance of sparkling red berries and pomelo, complemented by herbaceous notes and a touch of pepper. Full-bodied and invigorating on the palate, dense and creamy texture, lively finish with a surprising salty tone. Now on the decline, this thirst-quenching wine should be enjoyed without delay and in all simplicity to accompany Mediterranean cuisine, such as a salad of roasted peppers with garlic or Provençal-style tuna. Rating = 3.4.
