Very tasty and tightly knit. I still don’t understand paying $28 for wines like this.

I’ve worked with this stunner before but it’s been a few years. This is one of the most delicate and pretty Provence rosès I’ve come across this season. Perhaps it’s the 80-90 year old vines. Or maybe it’s the Sainte-Victoire appellation shining through. Either way, the wild strawberry, cranberry and raspberry notes are subtle and perfectly in sync with the minerality. Just lovely.

A fainter shade of coral pink then most Provence rosé. Touches more on the melons then most, but ends up bone dry, and full of expressive florals and spice.

2014 vintage. 70% Grenache, 25% Cinsault and 5% Syrah. The benchmark for Provençal rose alongside Chateau Sainte Marguerite. Perfect watermelon color and fresh aromatics of melon and cantaloupe. Beautiful balance, crisp, lively yet formidable with almost medium weight. Lasting finish. Wish it came with a straw. I'm hooked.

Great rose blend! Strawberries and hints of salinity. Nicely balanced. Great wine for a summertime night.
