Variety: Cinsaut
Region: Languedoc
Country: France
Year: 2013

Shop review: "Pierrick Harang comes from a line of 5 generations of winemakers and has brought scientific techniques along with winemaking mastery to create these unique wines.  These wines are naturally low in alcohol (at only 11%) and have about 87 calories per 12cl glass. Juicy flavours of strawberries and blueberries, with a fresh and mouth watering finish." - Vintage Cellar, 2014
My review: Le Petit Balthazar Rose Cinsault Languedoc poured a light salmon color in the glass.  The scent was slightly fruity on the note with earthy notes.  The palate detected cherry notes with soft tannins and an acidic finish.  This wine was not my favorite.
Food: I did not pair this wine with food.
