La Maîtresse, the sparkling rosé brut of Domaine du Grand Cros in the Var, that also produces excellent AOC Côtes-de-Provence wines, was tasted during the Welcome Party at the Cannes Airlines Forum in the Carlton. This sparkling rosé brut, elegant, fruity, and very refreshing made in the traditional method will surprise you, as it surprised the guests at the Erotic Valentine’s party in London.
