“Kravitz still has a knack for finding good wines at great prices” – Robert Parker, Parker on Wine, BusinessWeek, 8/20 & 27, 2007
Pierre Boniface - Les Rocailles
2011 Gamay Rosé
Les Rocailles is a true earthly paradise nestled in the French Alps, and the source of Pierre Boniface’s wonderful wines from Savoie. A cornerstone of the HPS portfolio, these wines represent great values, and will be a revelation to those unfamiliar with the unique and distinctive wines of Savoie.
Tasting Notes: This mouth-watering rosé offers delicate strawberry and raspberry aromas on the nose. Light, crisp, and bone-dry on the palate.
Serve With: Enjoyable on its own, and pairs well with a wide range of lighter fare including grilled vegetable panini, charcuterie, summer fruit salad, and more.
