Taste
A beautiful ballet slipper pink, with a delicate sparkle a beautiful signature of Rosé wines from the South of France. La Folie is the perfect aperitif, as well as a delightful accompaniment to many desserts and a brilliant wine for all happy occasions.
Tasting Notes
Light and bright pink colour, violet reflexes with a fine stream of elegant bubbles. A lovely balance of rich and fresh aromas on the nose with apricot, yellow peach, melon, passion fruit, all tied up by a subtle lavender honey note. Tense yet ample, with a refreshing acidity that gives depth to a creamy and white fruit flavoured profile. Perfect for an indulgent brunch and all festive occasions.
