Chateau Des Bormettes
L'Argentière Côtes de Provence Rosé Blend 2019
Light, shimmering orange. Ripe citrus fruits and red berries on the incisive nose, plus a floral quality that builds with air. Smooth and fleshy in style, showing good depth to the juicy blood orange and strawberry flavors, which take on a spicy white pepper nuance on the back half.

Translucent onion skin. Orange zest, persimmon, red berries and a subtle floral nuance on the fragrant nose. Concentrated but lithe and seemingly weightless, offering tangy red currant, strawberry and blood orange flavors that pick up a spicy nuance on the back half. Finishes brisk and tight, with repeating spiciness and a sneaky floral quality. This wine has the depth of flavor to handle full-flavored foods, but there's no excess fat here, either. A solid value.
