Maison Robert Vic was founded in the early twentieth century by François Bergon, Robert Vic's great-grandfather. He built the estate by distilling grape skins. Later, he also planted grapes himself to make basic wine. In the 1960s, his son George decided to change course and focus on producing quality wines. He uprooted a large portion of the vineyards and planted the less productive Syrah and Grenache. The estate has since grown into a large winery with some 250 hectares of vineyards, stretching across the area between Béziers and Agde.
Every year, it's a significant challenge for Jerôme Vic and his wife Aurélie to harvest another healthy harvest from the vineyards of Les Domaines Robert Vic. The vineyards, which cover a total area of over 180 hectares, have diverse soil structures and microclimates. Some of them are made up of ash from the extinct volcano Roque Haute. Others have basalt subsoil, as well as clay and gravel from the nearby Libron River. This makes the winemaker's job quite complex.
So pure and ripe in flavor with beautiful undertones of flowers and lavender! An extremely pale salmon pink color, the aroma reveals juicy red fruit and grapefruit. The palate is supported by ripe fruit, some minerals, and a touch of crispness. The finish of this Robert Vic Delicate Rosé is refreshing and ripe! Highly recommended! As an aperitif and patio wine, pairing well with many light meat and fish dishes and salads.
