Le Chat Noir Rosé 2025
AU$18, 12.5% alcohol, screwcap, Aude Valley, France.
I'd personally drink this on ice, like a G&T. It tastes of tonic water with infusions of raspberry and red roses, it’s pale in colour, it’s dry throughout, and after every sip you’re keen to take another. Deal done. This is just the ticket.
