Organic/Bio This release of our all-time best-selling rosé is even better than the very compelling 2023 edition of last year. Owner Gilles Pons continues to farm organically and prune and tend his vines to be ready to pick nicely ripe fruit earlier than in the past, capturing loads of flavor balanced by zesty freshness. This year, he took his next step – removing all Syrah and Mourvedre from the blend so that the crunchy wild berry and stone fruit flavors of just-ripe Grenache and crisp, lightly herbal, notes of fresh Cinsault can really shine through.
Even more than usual, the starbright, pale, coppery salmon pink appearance in the glass is a showstopper. It’s so shimmeringly pale that it’s hard to believe there could be any weight or flavor at all. But the aromas and flavors of juicy redcurrant, cherry, strawberry, Saville orange and fresh herb are clear and definite and delicious. And the juicy citric acidity lifts the flavors of watermelon and tart strawberry through a long, delightfully mouthwatering, finish that just won’t quit. Enjoy this all spring and summer, but be sure to get enough to drink with Thanksgiving turkey and enjoy all winter long while you can stock up while the special 12 bottle savings price lasts!
For You If: You love dry, classically-styled and made, Provençal rosé – you won’t find a better one this year; you’d rather drink elegant and delicious French rosé made by real people who live where they grow their grapes and make their wine than pinks created and managed by branding experts and movie stars.
Not For You: I guess if you don’t like dry Provençal rosé? Or if non-standard bottles are a deal-killer for you – this one’s pretty but won’t fit in all wine racks.
