The Alternative Rosé Collection: Escaping the Sea of Pale Pink

With delightful summer drinking in mind, this curated mixed case offers a thrilling tour of what happens when serious winemakers turn their attention to premium pink wine[cite: 10]. While it highlights an absolute benchmark from Provence, this selection intentionally looks beyond the famous postcodes of the Côte d'Azur to showcase winemakers creating wines full of unique character, complexity, and sheer gastronomic pleasure[cite: 10].

Instead of paying a premium for a flashy label, this collection focuses entirely on terroir, delivering incredible value and variety[cite: 10]. From a vibrant English still rosé grown on pure Hampshire chalk to a profoundly serious, 94-point Tavel, this case provides everything you need to break the routine and drink infinitely better this season[cite: 10].

Inside the Alternative Rosé Case:

• 2024 ROSE BONBON, Domaine des Diables: The absolute benchmark of classic Provence[cite: 10]. Grown on the limestone scree of Sainte Victoire, this is an explosive, highly complex rosé featuring notes of white peach, delicate rose petal, and a frictionless, silky texture[cite: 10].


• 2025 TAVEL La Dame Rousse, Domaine de la Mordorée: A profoundly serious, 94-point gastronomic rosé[cite: 10]. It features a deep brilliant pink hue heavily buffered by vivacious acidity, bursting with pink grapefruit, wild strawberry, and warm exotic spice[cite: 10].

• 2024 DANCER IN PINK Rosé, Black Chalk: A tremendously vibrant still rosé from the Test Valley in Hampshire[cite: 10]. Early-ripening Pinot Précoce gives an explosive red-fruit character underpinned by fierce, saline chalk minerality and an appetizing textural grip[cite: 10].
