Pale salmon pink. Citrus rind and white peach on the slightly shy nose. Firm acidity leads the medium light, minerally palate of citrus rind, white peach, and cantaloupe. Finish is strikingly long for a rosé and still quite mineral laden. An excellent pink for foods of all types including lighter cuts of beef and more dense seafoods (swordfish or scallops). An exotic sorbet would fare well, too. What would some age do? Drink now through summer 2024 (if you can hold on to it for that long.) to find out. — a day ago

Great vintage for Allemand that is open & ready now with many years ahead showing an amazing nose of dark fruits, licorice, sweet & savory spices, chocolate, mineral, glycerin, olive, pepper & violet. — 5 days ago

2018 vintage. Definitely serviceable with a decent body and mouthfeel. Licorice/anise, dark cherry, cinnamon and big ripe plum flavors leap out. Harmonious. — 7 days ago

Not feeling the love tonight. I have had this vintage before and it has been magical. Love this wine. Usually a very complex oily joy. But tonight’s has been a bit harsh. Don’t think it’s spoiled but it’s definitely off. So let’s see how it does tomorrow. Some strong flinty elements but not much of the usual peach and apricot.

Vintage 2017 | Modest appellation, modest price, great quality! Cardinalred colour, blackberry, luscious. Fine producer. Paired with charcuterie: sausage with fennel and sausage with pepper. Monday can’t be better. 😉 — 3 days ago

Decanted for a few hours before checking in. Purple reddish color. Earthy nose. Notes of black currants, crushed granite, blueberries, some funk, some menthol and some dark soil. What it has in the nose is missing in the mouth…. Not as good as the last bottle… not very exciting nor impactful. Today it’s all about the nose. — 4 days ago

Chateau Pegau (love this producer) Lone Cote du Rhône White is an interesting blend of Clairette (40%), Borboulanc (30%), Grenache Blanc (20%) and Ugni Blanc (10%). Aromas and flavors of white peach and lemon with notes of minerals, white flowers and herbs. Straw gold color, medium body and refreshing. Long and lingering finish. Excellent! — 4 days ago

Vintage 2020 | second modest Côtes du Rhône this week that turns me on! Beautiful red fruit, raspberry, frivolousness and playful expression. Light and quaffable. — 2 days ago

NV Fresh fruit salad and yoghurt for breakfast. Eating in the garden. And this festive sparkler with irresistible Muscat Clairette liveliness. Underestimated. Have a good Sunday! — 12 days ago
