Winter rosé! Full, fresh, concentrated, juicy red berry fruit, bright acid, mineral and a bit of funk on the finish. Really tasty. Ok fine there's a rosé I like

Extreme rose, this will be a shock to the system for those used to the typical Provence rose.

The attack is very intense and a little chaotic, but by the time you get to the the mid-palaate things open up and the finish is oodles of fresh wild strawberry galore!

A VDP from the family behind the Palette appellation. fruity with vanilla and an almond note. Oak aging but still vibrant and fresh. A kickass rosé

Good, but not my style of Rose. Stronger than a typical Provençal Rose, but not as strong as their Estate wine. More like a light red wine in flavor. Sour and edgy, better with meat than at a picnic. More reasonable in price than Chateau Simone, and I prefer it.

Wow wow wow. Best rosè is ever had. Why do I set myself up for future failure with any rose I come across from this point on.
