The French Secret to Surviving Summer? Rosé.

There are few places that understand summer quite like the South of France.

Long lunches drift into late afternoons. Conversations linger on shaded terraces. The Mediterranean sparkles in the distance, and as the temperature climbs, one wine appears on nearly every table: rosé.

In Provence, rosé isn't reserved for celebrations. It's simply part of everyday life.

You'll even hear locals order un rosé piscine.

Translated literally, it means "pool," but it refers to a delightfully simple tradition: a generous pour of well-chilled rosé served over ice. On the hottest days, it's the French Riviera's favourite way to cool down, proving that sometimes the simplest pleasures are the best.

Here in the Turks & Caicos, we understand that lifestyle better than most.

Whether you're relaxing beside the pool, spending the afternoon on the boat, gathering friends for a beach barbecue, or watching the sun set over Grace Bay, a beautifully chilled rosé feels right at home.

The Icons of Provence

If you've ever enjoyed rosé in Saint-Tropez, Cannes or Nice, you've likely encountered some of the world's most celebrated producers.

Our collection includes renowned favourites such as Whispering Angel, Rock Angel, Garrus, and The Beach by Whispering Angel. Elegant, refreshing and unmistakably Provençal, these wines have helped define modern rosé and continue to set the standard around the world.

Everyday Summer Favourites

Not every bottle needs to be saved for a special occasion.

Hampton Water, Côte des Roses, and La Fête du Rosé offer exceptional quality with an easy-going personality that's perfect for afternoons by the water, casual dinners, or sharing with friends.

These are the bottles you'll happily reach for all summer long.

Beyond Provence

While Provence may be rosé's spiritual home, it's certainly not the only destination worth exploring.

Our selection also includes distinctive styles such as the beautifully expressive Jean-Max Roger Sancerre Rosé from France's Loire Valley, along with the crisp, delicately pale Gris Blanc from Gérard Bertrand. Each offers its own personality while remaining wonderfully refreshing in our Caribbean climate.

While Provence may be the region most closely associated with rosé, just to the west lies Languedoc, where visionary winemaker Gérard Bertrand has helped redefine what southern French rosé can be. A pioneer of biodynamic viticulture, Bertrand has spent decades showcasing the region's remarkable diversity through wines that balance freshness, character and a genuine sense of place.

We're proud to feature a selection of Gérard Bertrand wines within our rosé collection, offering an opportunity to explore one of southern France's most influential producers alongside some of Provence's most iconic labels.

If you're looking for an easy introduction, Côte des Roses is a perennial favourite, recognised as much for its beautifully sculpted rose-shaped bottle base as its fresh berry and melon character. Gris Blanc delivers an elegant, pale and refreshingly crisp style that has become one of Bertrand's signature rosés, while Hampton Water, created in collaboration with Jon Bon Jovi and Jesse Bongiovi, brings vibrant citrus, red fruit and mineral freshness to the glass.

For those looking to experience Gérard Bertrand at its finest, Clos du Temple represents the pinnacle of the collection. Produced biodynamically in limited quantities, it is widely regarded as one of the world's great luxury rosés and demonstrates just how serious southern French rosé has become.

Together, these wines showcase the remarkable diversity of Languedoc, proving that some of France's most exciting rosés can be found well beyond Provence.
