| Wine of The Month |
|
Mr. Sacha Lichine is enchanted by the Provence of which his father, a legendary wine writer & winemaker – Alexis Lichine. He has combined his talent & know-how to the beautiful landscapes & distinctive red clay soil; taking Grenache as the base and accompany with Mouvedere, Rolle Syrah and Cinsault. Producing a new dimension to Provence's Rosè in four different ways.
"….But the more rosés I taste, the more I am convinced that the corner of the world that makes the best (and some of the worst) rosé is the most obvious place of all, Provence……I have tasted Lichine's recent bottling of the 2007 vintage….which seemed to me by far the best value…"
