Le Grand Cros is the story of a couple, Hugh and Jane Faulkner, who in 1989 fell in love with a vineyard at the heart of AOC Côtes de Provence. In 2000, their eldest son Julian took over the reins of the 24 hectares after completing a masters degree in vineyard management. Today they are one of the most technically innovative estates in southern France. Technology however doesn’t mean these wines are not handcrafted, indeed most of the grapes are hand-picked. Provence is the world capital of dry rosés and Le Grand Cros take theirs very seriously.

2007 L’Esprit de Provence Cuvée Rosé

‘MUST HAVE WINE’ ROSE OF THE YEAR 2008

“...plenty of sweet strawberry, juicy peach and nectarine flavours yet turning savoury with wild thyme and sage seasoning and a pleasant bitternut twist towards a tantalizing dry farewell, echoing sweet-sour raspberries and strawberries amongst exhilarating lemony acidity. A wonderfully vibrant, refreshing and complex wine redolent of summer, and dangerously drinkable!”

The Wandering Palate, October 2008

2007 L’Esprit de Provence Cuvée Rosé

"Pretty pink with shades of peach. The nose offers a complex fruity array of smells: white peach, apricot, a little strawberry and pink grapefruit and some hawthorn blossom in the background. The mouth is just as tasty with a fresh and rounded attack, the peach and strawberry flavours persist in this tender and delicate rosé.
