Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a few hours. The 2023 Chavignol Rosé pours a nearly Nantucket red with a transparent core; medium viscosity with no staining of he tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of strawberry, watermelon Jolly Rancher, Kaffir lime, and limestone minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ with a chalky texture. One of the great Rosés of the world that nobody ever talks about. Drink now through 2033.

Very mineral nose of limestone and rock dust. Good concentration but pretty austere. A hint of strawberry, cherry and mint. Not sure how I feel about this one. Maybe just needs time.

Pinot fruit, lots of yeasty lees character. Lovely salmon color. Snappy acidity. Lots of SO2
