Rating: Robert Parker 89/100, Gault Millau 17/20
Made primarily from Syrah and blended with Grenache, Les Galets Rosés is a true gourmet rosé: a powerful yet elegant nose with notes of wild strawberry, raspberry, and redcurrant, all accented by a hint of garrigue. A wine with character, sure to please many a wine lover!

Guide Hachette des vins

Rated estate Award-winning wines (This producer's wines are regularly recognized by the guide)

About the estate:

François Collard is a regular in the Guide, with his wines often ranking highly. Established in 1994, he began bottling wines from the family vineyards (65 hectares certified organic since 2014) under two labels: Mourgues du Grès, which belonged to the Ursuline convent of Beaucaire until the Revolution, and La Tour de Béraud, named after a 14th-century watchtower Never short on ideas, the Collard couple invites visitors to explore every facet of the estate via a marked trail equipped with Bluetooth markers.
