The description: This bright, sunny, light-to-medium-bodied, salmon-coloured beauty is an elegantly crisp, refreshing, well-balanced, and deliciously dry Côtes de Provence Rosé. This Cru Classé is made mainly from the local Provençal grape variety Tibouren, together with some Cinsault, Cabernet Sauvignon, Carignan and Mourvèdre.
The opinion: Very good. Taste gets deeper the more you hold it in your mouth. — 2 months ago
The description: Drinkability is dialled all the way up in this bottle, think dusty chalk notes on the nose with satsuma plum, red currants and raspberry coulis in the glass and the kind of sweet spice that keeps you coming back for more.
The opinion: it’s a very different dish o the Côtes du Rhône I normally drink, having said that I have had several Beaujolais before. I can’t match the description with what I am drinking. — 4 months ago
The description: Elegant, well rounded and medium bodied style. Aromatic persistence in the mouth and soft, silky tannins ripening slowly.
The opinion: Needs a few more years to deepen its flavour — a month ago
The description: Packed with red and black Fruits (blackcurrant, raspberry, sour cherry), bright and lively in the mouth with a nice minerality coming through the long, fresh finish.
The opinion: Description accurate. Would I buy again “Yes”. Lighter side of what I typically buy but still very pleasant. — 2 months ago
The description: Mostly famous for its dark, rich and powerful reds, Bastide de la Ciselette offers a rosé with a full spectrum of aromas including wild raspberries, blood orange, ruby red grapefruit and white pepper. The mouth has a rich texture and notes of sage, rosemary and pink peppercorn.
The opinion: The description is accurate but and it’s very good but previous years better; normally mark it a 9 or better. — 3 months ago
The description: 'Freshness, Fruit and Richness, the promise of Lavantureux Petit Chablis''.
The Petit Chablis from Roland Lavantureux is like a Bourgogne blanc from Antoine Jobard or Jean-Marc Roulot—a delicious, meticulously crafted wine that offers a taste of the magic found in the domaine’s more exclusive wines, with all the refreshing minerality and stoniness that is the hallmark of cool-climate Chardonnay grown on limestone. A sketch by da Vinci isn’t the Mona Lisa, but it still comes from the master’s hand.
The opinion: complex and beautiful.

The description: "Flavours of garrigue, black cherry, blackberry, ground herbs and crushed-rock-like minerality. It has a traditional feel, yet does not lack for purity, balance or polish either." Wine Advocate 93/100
The opinion: actually brilliant value (125 per bottle) I have tasted much worst at a lot more. This is brilliant! I am going to buy a couple more bottles — a month ago
The description:
A deep ruby-red hue with deep-purple highlights. A distinct touch of blackcurrant fills a rich and explosive nose. A soft palate showing sweetness. A touch of moka, chocolate, adds to the complexity. Well structured tannins enhance the body. Very well-balanced. For drinking now or can hold for 2 to 6.
The opinion:
I would add there is a liquorice note. This is a big wine and needs a big flavoured food dish with it. — 2 months ago
The description: Deep ruby colour, with purple shadows. The bouquet shows rose, delicate red fruits similar to currant and raspberry, pepper, clove and accents of brush. Medium-bodied, in the mouth is velvety, with hints of cherry, blueberry and licorice, with fresh and energetic tannins.
The opinion: Agee with description, and it’s an excellent wine. — 3 months ago

The description: A deep blackcurrant-red colour, with bright cherry highlights. A profusion of black fruit flavours and soft spices on the nose. A rich full-bodied palate, sustained by freshness and a certain mineral touch. A silky, velvety tannic finish to enhance the balance.
A wine for early drinking but can be cellared for 2 to 3 years.
The opinion: it’s very good. Well worth investing in a couple of bottles to drink over the next couple of years. — 17 days ago
