Pink Perfection: Rosé François Chartier

Patio and picnic season is officially here, so it’s time to start talking pink vino! François Chartier, a sommelier who’s spent 25 years travelling the world and has tasted over 60,000 wines, has recently released a textured, complex and aromatic Languedoc. This dry rosé is the perfect accompaniment to fish and summer salads or even appetizers as an apéritif. We also love Chartier’s Fronsac, Côtes du Rhône Blanc Pays d’Oc IGP. Here’s to summer sipping! — Sylvie Michelon
