Learn more
Our Inspiration Rosé is one of the best Château Virant rosé wines to enjoy year round.
This wine was created by the Cheylan family as the point of union between trend and tradition. Its color and its citrus notes, called "thiols" by professionals, are signs of its modernity. Its dominant aromas of red fruits, green apple, and its powerful structure all bear witness to the qualities of a rosé that has stood the test of time.
The grape varieties used to make this wine indicate its high quality: Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Grenache.
This wine is one of the best sellers of the estate. Year after year, the Inspiration Rosé wine reveals consistent taste qualities.
Pairings
Pleasant as an aperitif, this wine pairs well with Mediterranean dishes, such as marinated fish and grilled meats. It also nicely compliments gourmet dishes such as chicken with lemon and herbs.
Tasting advice
Be sure to chill your wine to 12° C before serving. Use frozen glasses or porcelain ice cubes to create the optimal temperature.
Environmental distinction
Château Virant has an HVE 3 certification issued by the French government. This distinguished label is only obtained after having reached the highest level of environmental certification for farms. This label signifies sustainable production and practices with careful management of natural resources.

The Inspiration Rosé regularly wins awards in the national Vinalies competition. In 2018 it won the Prix d'Excellence (prize of excellence), and in 2020 it won a silver medal.

Pour le rosé Cuvée Inspiration Rosé, je suis très satisfait de ce rosé. Je le connais depuis très longtemps car un ami que j'avais à Salon de Provence m'y avait amené en acheter. Je l'avais goûté et aimé de suite. La cuvée 2024, je l'ai trouvée changée couleur du vin un peu différente, mais il est TOUJOURS AUSSI DELICIEUX. Bravo pour ce rosé de Provence moi qui habite près de Bordeaux, seul de Rosé de Provence est si délicieux
