2024 Domaine Jourdan La Vie Est Belle

A wine that Dry Farm Wines has imported year after year after year, "La vie est belle," or, "life is beautiful," indeed when sipping on this sublime rosé. Coming from the Cabernet Franc grape, the nose introduces appealing notes of red berries, and currants, with just a touch of herbal complexity that teases like mint in a watermelon salad. On the palate, it's soft, and lush, yet refreshing, a perfect prologue to a sunny summer.

Rosé is often best enjoyed on its own, and while the "La Vie est Belle," will make a fabulous aperitif, its soft fruit notes, and inherent herbaceousness make it a great pairing for salads with bitter greens and cheese, grilled chicken with chimichurri, or a zesty shrimp ceviche.
