ROSÉ
T H E R O S É E F F E C T As the UK enjoys a rare glimpse of the sun, the search for rosé begins. With past misconseptions about this distinctive wine category disappearing with education, we enjoy more and more access to some of the best options around. And they're not just f r o m Pr o v e n c e .
The appearance of a glass of rosé wine often means the beginning of warmer weather and pure relaxation. On average 13% of Provence rosé wines are exported to the UK (the second largest market after the US). Hotel Byblos in Saint Tropez and Terre Blanche in Provence, have launched exclusive partnerships with some of the most sought after vineyards in the south of France.
