The story of Les Jamelles Reflets Secrets

Les Jamelles was created in the Languedoc in the 1990s by Laurent and Catherine Delaunay, a couple of winemakers from Burgundy who went looking for clay-limestone terroirs in the south. Catherine oversees the winemaking, and Reflets Secrets is her signature rosé, made in the IGP Pays d'Oc.

The secret is Mourvèdre. The blend is led by Grenache, with Syrah, Mourvèdre and Cinsault, and the grapes come from three different areas. The Béziers coastline brings roundness and richness, the sandy soils beside the Étang de Thau add freshness and minerality, and the clay-limestone hillsides around Narbonne give the wine its structure. Only the best free-run juice from direct pressing is used. Each variety is fermented separately in temperature-controlled stainless steel, then blended with the aim of keeping the colour very pale without losing flavour.

The result is a pale pink wine with rose petal, raspberry, cherry and a little grapefruit and orange zest, and a long fresh finish. Serve it at 8 to 10 degrees with tapas, antipasti, fresh salads or shellfish, or with spicier Asian dishes.
