If you frequent the wine section at your neighborhood Trader Joe’s, you’ve likely come across Maison Barboulot Cabernet Syrah [sku 62771]. (And if you haven’t visited the wine section lately, come say hi! Our Crew are friendly, knowledgeable, and would love to tell you about their favorites). This one-time hidden gem is now a solid customer favorite, thanks to its amazing quality and equally excellent price. So, when our buyer came across a rosé from the same region in France, with the same quality-to-price characteristics, we jumped at the chance to bring it into stores. Just in time for summer, give it up for Maison Barboulot Cinsault Rosé!

If you were sitting at a sidewalk café in France, this is likely what you’d find in your glass come happy hour. It’s made from 100% Cinsault (pronounced “SAN-soh”) grapes, grown among the morning mists and Mediterranean sea breezes of the Pays d’Oc region. Those growing conditions contribute to the wine’s artful balance of floral and fruity notes and its dry and refreshing nature, as well as its light and lively palate that plays well with baked salmon, pesto chicken, or a citrus-y pasta salad. We’re delighted to say: Rosé is here to stay!
