Domaine de la Courtade Alycastre (Rosé)
More from this producer: Domaine de la Courtade
2025
Pale pink, restrained aromas, opening out to a beautiful intensity and ripe concentration on the palate. There is some seriously concentrated white fruit fruit with some really charming salinity and minerality which serves to remind you that this wine comes from an island - and you can almost taste the sea. Still quite closed but with potential for ageing.

About us
We’re mother and son duo Elizabeth Gabay MW and Ben Bernheim. Between us, we’ve been involved in the wines of southern France for over 30 years. Elizabeth started working with the wines of Provence back in 1986, and for the past 20 years has lived on the eastern edge of south-east France. We’ve worked on three books on rosé: Rosé Understanding the Pink Wine Revolution (2018), Elizabeth Gabay’s Buyers Guide to the Rosés of Southern France (2021 e-guide) and, most recently Rosés of Southern France (2022).
