In the Battle of Rosé currently underway, this one takes the throne. Sweet and dry, but not too sweet and not too dry, you know? Mark this one down as the best victory from France since the Napoleonic Age.

Côtes de Provence rosé is a real treat. This one acts exactly the way a pink wine should, with strawberries, citrus and a slightly herbal touch on the nose. The palate brings the strawberries in first, and a nice little cucumber element pokes through. An herbal grassy texture is no surprise in this bone-dry wine with an easy acidity that refreshes but does not sting. The lengthy finish has the herbs hanging around quite a while.

Nice on its own, very drinkable and slightly, but not overly, sweet. However, when paired with an oily sea bass dish, it responded to the match by turning very bitter, so would be careful in pairing.
