Roasted Leg of Lamb with Rosé Glaze
This recipe for Roast Leg of Lamb with Rosé Glaze was created by Virginie Bonvalet. She lives in England but grew up with French rosé on the dinner table.

Although, slow-roasted leg of lamb and rosé are a terrific combination all year – just saying.
“Rosé can be very strong and the wines of Provence have a distinctive taste. Pure has the perfect balance of citrus aromas and acidity that will pair gorgeously with the pink peppercorns and the sweetness of the lamb.”~ Virginie Bonvalet
