Tasting Notes & Experience
Pale, shiny pink with subtle salmon glints, this rosé opens with seductive aromas of ripe strawberry, raspberry, white flowers and a hint of citrus zest. The palate is crisp, lively and dry, bursting with red berry and stone-fruit flavours layered with gentle spice and granitic minerality. Smooth, balanced and wonderfully refreshing, it finishes clean and persistent with bright, invigorating length.

Craftsmanship & Story
Founded in 1725, Barton & Guestier is one of France’s most historic wine houses, renowned for curating quality wines from exceptional terroirs. The Tourmaline rosé is crafted in the foothills of the Massif des Maures, where sun-drenched days, cooling breezes and schist-rich soils shape wines of purity and finesse. Grapes are gently destemmed, cool-fermented and protected from oxidation to preserve the wine’s signature pale hue and aromatic vibrancy.
Special Features
Named after the pink Tourmaline gemstone, this cuvée captures Provence’s elegance with its luminous colour, aromatic delicacy and mineral backbone. Crafted by award-winning winemaker Véronique Florentin, it undergoes careful cold handling, light maceration and ageing on fine lees to achieve its silky texture, floral finesse and bright, refreshing finish. A contemporary Provençal rosé with timeless charm.
