The Best Mother’s Day wine gift? A French rosé with 400 years of history.
Elegant, poised and utterly French — Maison Lorgeril’s Ô de Rosé is the gift that says you actually thought about it. {dedicated}
What’s the best wine to give Mom this Mother’s Day? If she’s the kind of woman who appreciates heritage, polish and a little savoir faire, the answer is Ô de Rosé from Maison Lorgeril — a stunning French rosé from one of Languedoc’s oldest family estates.
Order online or run to Empire Wine … then let her decide whether to share. (She doesn’t have to: Mother’s Day is the one day every year where she’s allowed to be perfectly selfish.)
Why Ô de Rosé?
Maison Lorgeril has been crafting wine at Château de Pennautier near Carcassonne since 1620 — now in its 12th generation, its six estates and unwavering commitment to organic farming are proof that great wine and great stewardship go hand in hand.
Mom will also love the exquisite, ballet-slipper pink color from one of France’s most celebrated estates, a quintessential Spring wine that’s perfect for toasting, celebrating and pairing with fresh foods. Crafted from Grenache, Syrah and Cinsault vines in the sunny hills of the Languedoc, Ô de Rosé is beautiful inside and out.
Inspiration for a celebration
In France, a glass of rosé is par for the course during spring brunch, especially when paired with light and bright, farm-fresh dishes that reflect the flavors in the glass, and the spirit of sunshine and celebration that accompanies Mother’s Day
A simple no-fuss pairing using Saratoga treats: Go out and get the best fresh goat cheese, Brie de Nangis, a smattering of charcuterie like prosciutto and salami, a handful of olives, a few of her favorite pickled and fresh vegetables, dried and fresh fruit, a toasted baguette. (Save the real effort for the presentation!) Head to Mrs. London’s Bakery for great baguettes, then cross the street and grab all of the charcuterie and French cheese and other accoutrements you need at Putnam market. If you’re preparing a serious culinary feast, grab your supplies at Healthy Living Market.
Or, just chill the bottle, pop the cork, pour a glass for the beautiful mothers in your life, and say “thank you.” A glass of great wine and heartfelt gratitude from you are always a welcome gift.
