Côtes de Provence Cru Classé Rosé Tibouren

Needs one more year

Textural as always. Petrichor, dried apricot, garrigue, salt. Always great

One of my favorite rosé wines! So textural and enveloping, mineral and savory before fruit. Lemon balm, peach skin, apricot pit, melon rind, sea salt, flower petals, succulents and scrubby Provençal herbs. A slight leesy component adds richness. There’s always something unique in this wine’s tannin profile, it has some grit, almost powdery tannin from front to back, I love the texture.

I’ve reviewed this before, but I really didn’t have the same appreciation the first time around. It really is a rose in name only, with a silky orange color, like satin, with a medium texture and a nose of citrus rind, hibiscus, peach skin or some other florals, and a palate that evokes complex, ripe orange, herbs or like, leaves in a way, vegetal, with dried apricot, a beautiful minerality and acid balance, with a lingering finish that emerges somewhat oily, more citrus rind that fruit. It really is delicious, and a surprisingly good pairing for corned beef/egg breakfast blend over a deep dark toast!

Apricot, tangerine, Meyer lemon nose; dry and slightly bitter on the palette.

I prefer this with more age but still one of my favorites

Excellent rose. The mouthfeel here is great. Screams summer! Light and refreshing.

One of the most unique rose!
Delish!!

Light colored savory rose with a lot of energy, like a dry champagne or a geeky orange wine. A serious effort with lengthy finish.
