The Story Behind the Bottle
In the sun-drenched hills of Languedoc-Roussillon, where the Mediterranean breeze carries the scent of wild herbs and the landscape is painted with vineyards stretching toward the horizon, Domaine de Fontanet has been crafting wines that celebrate the region's generous terroir and authentic character.The Languedoc-Roussillon is France's largest wine-producing region, renowned for delivering exceptional quality and incredible value. Here, the warm Mediterranean climate, diverse soils, and passionate winemakers come together to create wines of remarkable freshness and drinkability. Domaine de Fontanet embraces this heritage, working with traditional grape varieties and time-honoured techniques to craft rosés that are approachable, characterful, and utterly delicious.Les Terrasses is a beautiful expression of what makes Languedoc rosé so irresistible – fresh fruit flavours, vibrant acidity, and the kind of easy-drinking charm that brings people together.

What You'll Discover
Pour yourself a glass and admire the delicate pale pink hue – light, inviting, and full of promise. The nose opens with fresh aromas of red berries – strawberry, raspberry, and wild cherry – layered with citrus notes and delicate floral hints that lift the senses.On the palate?

Perfect Pairings
This wine is incredibly versatile and perfect for so many occasions. Think grilled seafood – prawns with garlic and herbs, calamari with lemon, or fresh fish tacos. It's equally magnificent with Mediterranean salads, charcuterie boards with prosciutto and pâté, or fresh goat cheese with crusty bread and olive tapenade.Serve it well-chilled at 8–10°C as an aperitif on a sunny afternoon, or pair it with a casual lunch by the beach.
