A unicorn 🦄. The 2017 E&M’s Pinot’s where hard to try when young - all of them. And very hard to read. I thought the year was in question. Well this is changing this Rose is incredible now 3 years in the bottle. Bubblegum, herbs, earth and dirt on the nose. Fantastic fruit - strawberry guavas? Hint strawberry, lime, nice acidity. Lots of body. Begs for a Salmon dish which would go so well with the color. Drink now. Addictive. — 6 years ago

I've squeezed all the mystery out of Tempier Rose' over the years. Consistently good. Consistently consistent.
Familiar salmon rose gold. Orange zippy bitter pith and grapefruit sours. Herbs de provence and mild tannin in a syrupy Bandolian texture.
Always hits...in exactly the same way. — 3 months ago
I’m a bit jaded and it takes a lot to wow me but this wine stopped me in my tracks. Stunning. I was going to add it to the champagne thread but it deserves its own. Sarah and others have touted this wine. Rightfully so. Guys at the Wine Ex used to call it affectionately “Ugly Idiot,” and it’s anything but.
Color is very light pink, lighter than many rosés but nose is full and even explosive. Reminds me of the Dujac equivalent of champagne. On the palate, the red fruits are amazing. Layers of high-toned strawberry, incredibly juicy, with lift. Not at all oxidative, Clean and fresh, it is gorgeous wine. Very intense. Very long. Very fine indeed. — 4 years ago
Freshly baked sourdough, white flowers, blanched almonds, tart cherries, and green apple. Dry and crisp. All wrapped up in a beautiful pale salmon hue with lively effervescence. #laurentperrierrose #laurentperrier #champagne #newyearsweekend #getaway #frenchchampagne #rosechampagne #methodechampenoise #winetime #winedown2019 #holidays #aurevoir2019 #boldnorthmn — 7 years ago

This is one of the greats! First patio day of summer and apparently rose day? — 7 years ago
So tight even after 6 hours of air. Really singular. Not much in common with its Provençal brethren (sistren?). Cranberry, rose petals, cherry heering. Massive tannins, little discernible heat. Angular. Attenuated nose. Hold for now, but if you must drink, decant the day before. Fun wine to geek out on. — 5 years ago

This is the Ode to Lulu Mourvèdre Rose (back label says that it’s “ancient vines” grown on sand, so maybe mostly CCC fruit?). The color so pale as to almost resemble a skin contact “orange” white wine. Nose is all fruit. Nectarine, strawberry, an orange-zest thing too. Dry and so gulpable. Dangerous on a warm and humid afternoon! — 10 days ago
