Nose: Classic Provence. Floral, clean, fresh berries first then followed by fresh herbs and flowers – like walking through a Provence lavender field on an early summer morning.
Taste: The harmony of bright acidity, rich texture and dry finish show the completeness of this wine. Creamy strawberry notes up front and lingering flavors of fresh basil, thyme, lavender.
Food Pairing: Classic roasted chicken with lemon and Herbs de Provence, grilled lobster. An incredible wine for the holiday table with its visual appeal and ability to pair with a variety of challenging Thanksgiving and holiday dishes.

Another pale rosé in the Berne stable, the 2017 Cotes de Provence Rose Inspiration is a bit more restrained in its aromatics than the other bottlings. It still offers melon and peach scents, but they're reined in by hints of crushed stone. It's medium-bodied, with a creamy texture on the palate that lets the flavors linger smoothly on the finish, picking up mouthwatering hints of lime and grapefruit zest.
Robert Parker, Wine Advocate
This full, rich wine emphasizes ripe berry fruits rather than crispness. That makes for a wine that is warm, intensely fruity, soft of the palate and ready to drink now.

Chateau De Berne
Nestled in the hills of Provence, vines have been grown on the Château grounds since Roman times. Situated on the Aurelian Way, a Roman road formerly linking Italy and Spain, the vineyard was also a trading post for wines. Sheltered by acres of pine forests and lavender fields and enjoying over 3000 hours of sunshine a year, our grapes enjoy the cooler Provence nights which slows their ripening and helps produce this perfect range of Provencal rosés.
