Pétula is a very distinguished rosé, with an expressive, fruity nose of small red berries, a touch of Maras des Bois and raspberry, supported by spicy nuances. On the palate, it's juicy and chewy, making it a rosé with character. A great success!

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2023) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))
About the domain :
Marrenon is one of France's leading cooperatives. It brings together 9 caves, no fewer than 7,600 hectares of vines and has been putting over 85% of the Luberon's annual production under glass for 40 years. A feat of quality, as evidenced by a highly diverse and comprehensive range. Deliciously fruity wines, without forgetting their terroir of origin.
