Domaine Tempier

Bandol Rosé Blend 2022

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a few hours. The 2022 pours a pale coral color with a transparent core; medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with a refreshing mix of tart and ripe red fruits; strawberry, watermelon dry underbrush, red flowers, and wet stone minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry; tannins are light with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and saline. Lovely texture. This continues to be a benchmark for rosé. Drink now through 2032. — 8 days ago

@Raun Kupiec both Pibarnon and Pradeaux make great Provencial rosé too. both LdH Tondonia Rosado and Chateau Musar Rosé are in the same category

I know the Musar Reds from the Bekaa Valley. Really excellent. Didn’t know they did a rosé, it if it is anything like their red it must be wonderful.

@Raun Kupiec it’s actually more close in resemblance to their Blanc but yes, lovely stuff.

Domaine Houchart

Côtes de Provence Rosé Blend 2021

The description: The colour is salmon, light pink rose. The aromas show fresh strawberries, cranberry and hints of white pepper. The palate is where the romance is. The texture is crisp almost crunchy, which brings out the fresh strawberry and red tree fruit characters. This wines truly refreshes the palate… and soul.
The opinion. Perfect for quaffing on the deck and great value. Definitely buying in a dozen for summer.
