The 2015 Domaine Houchart Rosé exhibits sweetness at the core verging on Watermelon Jolly Rancher, along with fresh, poppy notes of white peach and apricot. The wine label notes that the a blanket of CO2 is applied to the grapes during harvest in order to preserve freshness. I'd say they've achieved that goal, this is a fruit-driven rosé, albeit bone dry, with a light touch, the faintest kiss of minerality on the finish. For some, this will be the perfect, easy-breezy summer rosé, for others who prefer a more serious style, look elsewhere. 13.5% ABV | Sample
