Producer

Sacha Lichine is a man of pedigree. His father, of Russian descent, and American mother, had built their wealth and reputation with a Bordeaux business which included Chateaux Prieurie Lichine and Lascombes in Margaux. Sacha Lichine has continued with the family tradition for innovation, by drawing on his wide experience of winemaking and his keen understanding of consumer needs a range of contemporary Mediterranean wines with the ‘chicken’ labels, whose fruit forward style makes them immediately enjoyable. They are southern French with a distinct New World accent.
Tasting Notes
Named after its transparent, pink colour, The Pale by Sacha Lichine embodies all the characteristics of an authentic rose from Provence. Made from an elegant blend of Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah grapes that grow parallel to the Mediterranean coast where their salty, sun-drenched soils give the wine a dry yet fruity character. This is an expressive wine, and bears great aromatic freshness on the nose followed by more subtle, fruity notes on the palate.
Food
Lovely as an apertif in warm evenings. Otherwise best served with Canapes or with summer salads.
