The first prosperity bundle has been popular, we're pleased to release the second 2-bottle rosé and red wine bundle, the Prosperity Bundle II - 1701 and Domaine Montrose Salamandre!
These two hand-crafted artistry wines are exclusively produced by Domaine Montrose, single vineyard, with very limited production every year and from their BEST terroirs, a volcanic plot next to the Mediterranean sea!
Since 1701, our family has lived at Domaine Montrose in the South of France.
1701 is an exceptional artisanal cuvée.
It’s made from a rare blend. Grenache from volcanic terroir and Roussanne planted in the middle of the Mediterranean garrigue, or wilderness.
This wine is probably one of the world’s greatest rosés.

Each inch of this wine gleams with polish and fervent care. Like the walnut-and-red-leather interior of a classic Jaguar S-type. Built to race, built for power.
