For the price, this is a fantastic rosé. Provincial style with a fruity minerality that paired well with lemon chicken linguini. This is a wine to be shared, drunk alone or paired with poultry or fish. Extremely versatile! — 5 years ago
$15 closeout & feels like theft! Inky massive, voluptuous wafting tons of dense black fruit, brooding, white pepper, game, bit feral, had a bit more nuance than many garden variety Shiraz. Very broad across the middle, generous ripe black fruit & pepper, decent balance, little clumsy & provincial, but definitely enjoyable. — 10 months ago

Took over an hr to open beyond the damp barnyard nose when the cork was removed. Developed beautifully over the following 2 hrs until the wine blossomed. Very few noticeable tannins and a lovely blend of provincial spices, lavender and hints of leather. A beautiful 30+ second finish. This is one of the first cdp’s I’ve truly enjoyed. I do believe the 99 is likely on its way down but not by any means gone. I’d drink sooner than later. — 3 years ago
Delightful, typical fine Provincial Rose, just right served cool for our summer drinking before, after, with food or in the afternoon listening to the birds. Properly dryish — 4 years ago
I think I’m in love. I’m ready to book the next flight to Corsica! This wine is seductive. Beautiful candied red fruits, blood orange, Provincial spices, perfume & an unexpected twist, a whiff of suntan oil. Don’t let the light color fool you. This wine is amazing and complex. If you are a Cru Beaujolais lover, be prepared to have your socks knocked right off of you. If you are a Burgundy lover, be prepared for a happy palate and a happier wallet. So reminiscent of one of my all time favorite wines, the Corsican masterpiece Faustine. Go get a bottle now, before world discovers it. — 5 years ago

Just fantastic — particularly at $14. This is an elevated southern French bistro wine: inky, deep rich aromas of red & black fruit, liqueur like, little smoky, little meaty, white pepper, licorice, earthy, floral — spectacular nose. Great extraction on mid-palate, finely grained tannins, oh so easy drinking w/nose confirmed with decadent flavors leading to a fine finish. Over performs as a provincial Ventoux wine - will go buy a half dozen bottles. — 5 months ago
