Domaine du Météore rosé – Meteoric wine producer, Domaine du Météore, has launched a new organic rosé from its vineyard in Languedoc. Made from a blend of 50% Cinsault, 40% Grenache Noir and 10% Mourvèdre, Le Météore is available to purchase in the UK from today from the Domaine du Météore website, with an introductory offer of 2 free bottles when you buy 4.

Domaine du Météore takes its name from the 200 meter-wide meteorite crater, which struck a hillside in southern France over ten thousand years ago. Today, Domaine du Météore’s vines grow within and around its crater. High up in the Languedoc mountains, the domaine spans the schist soils of Faugères and Saint-Chinian, which are surrounded by garrigue, with the scent of wild thyme, fennel, and mint. Domaine du Météore makes organic wines inspired by the land and its history. These are wines from another dimension.

Le Météore is a pale, organic AOP Faugères rosé with a slight rose flower tinge, made from grapes grown within and around the crater. The nose is both expressive and delicate with aromas of raspberry, strawberry, and grapefruit with a touch of white pepper. A variety of the Météore wines cuvées are stocked at Stone, Vine & Sun, Haynes Hanson & Clark, Les Caves de Pyrene and the whole range is available to buy at www.domainedumeteore.com
