Description
Domaine de Beyssac “Escapade” Rosé 2024 is a vibrant and expressive rosé from the Côtes du Marmandais, crafted from organically and biodynamically farmed vineyards. Designed as a convivial, pleasure-driven wine, it reflects the estate’s philosophy of minimal intervention and respect for natural balance, resulting in a wine that is both pure and approachable.
Produced using direct pressing, the wine is vinified at low temperatures in stainless steel to preserve freshness and aromatic clarity, with careful work on the lees to enhance texture and length . This method gives the wine its bright, clean profile while maintaining a sense of depth and persistence.
In the glass, Escapade shows a luminous pink colour, often with slightly deeper tones than very pale Provence styles, hinting at its expressive fruit character. The nose is open and inviting, with aromas of fresh strawberry, redcurrant, and subtle floral notes, sometimes with a gentle herbal lift typical of Southwest wines.
On the palate, the wine is lively and well-balanced, combining juicy red berry fruit with crisp acidity that brings energy and freshness. The texture is slightly rounded without losing its vibrant edge, offering both immediacy and a satisfying length. The finish is clean, refreshing, and gently aromatic, making it highly drinkable.
Typically made from a blend including Malbec (Côt) and Merlot, the wine balances fruit intensity with freshness and structure . This gives it a slightly more characterful profile than lighter rosé styles, while remaining easy to enjoy.
“Escapade” is a versatile and food-friendly rosé, ideal for aperitifs, grilled fish, seafood, salads, and light poultry dishes. It also works beautifully for casual outdoor dining, where its freshness and fruit-forward style shine.
Overall, Escapade 2024 lives up to its name — a light-hearted, refreshing “escape” in a glass, combining brightness, character, and the easy charm of a well-made Southwest French rosé.
