Tony Love - Winepilot

Extreme pale, with a pretty white-topped strawberry like nose, the faintest of mints in the background. All very attractive in the opening stanza. And true to its promise, those aromas carry through to the palate, flavour notes alive and energised in familiar Provence style, with decent textural layering as well, some peppery spice in the finish. Mouthwatering – a lovely aperitif.

Sam Kim - Wine Orbit

It's finely scented on the nose with notes of cranberry, Gala apple, lemon peel, and oatmeal. The palate delivers elegant weight and delicate texture, beautifully framed by vibrant acidity, making it mouth-watering and persistent.

Rosé from the Côtes de Provence is exactly the wine that so many of us think of when we think lazy, sunny days in cafes by the Mediterranean. This one comes from 30-year-old vines from the Coeur du Var, which is located in the centre of the region. The palest of Rosé hues, almost a straw white if there is such a thing, the wine is wonderfully aromatic, filling the room with notes of florals, rose petals, citrus, herbs, spices and a note like a windswept lavender hillside. Seamless in style, this is fresh and quite vibrant with good focus and a lingering finish. Enjoy this now and over the next three years. If you can’t actually get to the Mediterranean this summer, at least you can drink as though you are there.

A blend of Cinsault, Grenache, Rolle and Syrah from the heart of Provence. The palest onion skin blush with copper tones. Five months on lees brings subtle texture to the fresh, vibrant palate. Floral notes, red berry hints, all delicately muted and beautifully presented. A classic example of Provence Rosé.

It’s always a good wine to drink and this release doesn’t let the run of form down. It tastes of apricot, red cherries, sweet spices and assorted florals, with raspberry notes pushing forward as the wine breathes, the latter most evident on the nose. But it still manages to feel stoney and spicy for the most part; it’s pale and dry, but with a little bit of presence. Personally I’d buy/drink this in a heartbeat. It’s rocky, stony and tonic-like, but it has flesh.
