Côtes de Provence

Rosé

Like the 2022, this shows its oak, but in a more harmonious way, giving a savoury, white Burgundy quality and hazelnut, buttered almond and nougat depth to the textured layers of fruit (suggestive of apricot, raspberry and citrus). The palate is punctuated by touches of herb and stony minerality and there is a discreet but vital pulse of acidity giving precision and vigour. This is a compelling, powerful rosé designed, like all these wines, to go with food – and not just lobster and rich seafood dishes but chicken and veal in cream sauces and vitello tonnato. Tasted from a three-litre bottle.
