Domaine Migot
Vin Gris Côtes-de-Toul Rosé Blend
Côtes de Toul, Lorraine, France
Ripping acidity and loads of red fruit mark this appealing rosé made from pinot noir and gamay: raspberry, sour cherry, strawberry, red currant, lemon, and a bit of wet stone. Bracing and delicious.

Wine 11/12 (Pinot Noir / Gamay)
Nose has dried strawberry, cold watermelon, wet raspberries and minor green herbs, quite delicate yet powerful.
Palate has dried strawberry, juicy peach, sandstone with medium-light acidity and medium finish. Really a great wine, so light yet quite finessed.
My first Côtes de Toul, will not be my last!
Once again it is notable that I have made one full trip around the Sun earlier this week. We had our small, social bubble team to the house for celebrating my getting older and somewhat less flexible in advancing age...Whatever will be done when I creast 50? Well, at least it's several years until needing manage that concern.
We enjoyed well-salted Ribeyes (Kinderhook Farm - Valatie, NY, prepared 48h in advance), turning to a beautiful medium-rare after a mere 12m of grill time and smashed, small red potatoes with capers (yeah try it, don't judge me yet). None of the bottles were particularly planned as 'steak wines'; we didn't care as it really was a wine nerd-fest of grapes/regions, from Burgenland, Austria to Brittany, France. Wine and food were on individual plateaux today. This was the vom Boden Spring Experience case, expertly curated by Stephen Bitterolf, and well received by our tasting crew.

Pretty tasty. Still never understand why these roses are ever more than $20.

Not a rosé fan in general to be honest. This one is not too fruity but has a baking spice nose with strong herbal overtones on the tongue. Not bad for those who want a rosé with a complex kick. Just not for me.
