I've had some wonderful French rose that is not pink at all, but rather a light ruby in color- and very dry, not sweet.

Can't advise on brand names, but any kind of Rhone rose, which would be a Syrah or Grenache (I think) would be great.

Rose made from Grenache red grapes is something else and wonderful to drink.

I suggest you go to a liquor store that has a good inventory of French wines and ask a knowledgable clerk.

Some of it is also called “vin gris”

And you’re right, most of the Rose’ in France is much different than the so called rose’ wines and white zin of America.
