Classic dishes are ratatouille, bouillabaisse, and olive tapenade. In general, the Provence region’s light and flavorful cuisine pairs perfectly with rosé.
Fleurs De Prairie Cotes De Provence Rose Description
Fleurs De Prairie
"Fleurs de Prairie" translates as "wildflowers," celebrating the beautiful fields of wisteria, lavender, poppy, and sunflowers carpeting Provence.
This wine is sourced from select Provençal vineyards that dot the coastal wind-swept hillsides of the region. The Mediterranean combination of sun, wind, mild water stress, and ocean influence provide ideal conditions for grapes to ripen to the perfect balance of flavor and freshness.
This wine is crafted in the traditional Provençal style with a pale salmon color, delicate flavors of strawberry, rose petals, and herbs, and a bright, refreshing acidity. It is made by the family-owned Les Grands Chais de France.
Vincent Euzet
Vincent Euzet was born in 1978 in the south of France. Born into a family of winemakers in Pic Saint Loup, just North of Montpellier, he grew up surrounded by vineyards, discovering the art of winemaking from a very young age. Unsurprisingly, Vincent developed a passion for wine and pursued studies in winemaking, graduating from Faculté de Pharmacie Montpellier with a National Diploma in Oenology. He later earned his Master’s degree in Wine Industry Business & Marketing from Faculté d’Economie Montpellier.
As a student, Vincent completed a series of internships at Cave de Berlou in Saint Chinian, the Cave Anne de Joyeuse in Limoux, and the Cave Rozes à Routier. He also ventured overseas to South Africa where he gained invaluable experience by working at the Domains Vrede en Lust.
In 2008, after four years as a technical manager at the Cave de Conronsec (Hérault), he joined the team at Les Grands Chais de France, where he is now the proud craftsman behind Fleurs de Prairie.
Today, at 40 years old, Vincent enjoys remarkable success in his career and as a proud husband and father of two children.
