  1. Chateau du Rouet Cuvee Reserve Cotes de Provence Rose 2021 375ml
    Chateau du Rouet Cuvee Reserve Cotes de Provence Rose 2021 375ml
    Never judge a book buy it's cover right? Mostly, you see the colour of this and you at least know you are on good footing to begin with. It's pale, like a blush of peach. Properly dry with a splash of sweet citrus, mandarin, ripe red grapefruit, a just tart orange aspect and then some lovely peach notes. All this is underpinned by a bright, clear, palate cleansing freshness and a nice pithy texture that licks at the sides of your mouth. It's long and energising, it both slackens the thirst with its buoyant, uplifting feel and engages the old taste buds and sets the salivary glands quivering. Who doesn't love Rose like this? It's so enjoyable to drink. ROSCOE

  2. Chateau du Rouet Cuvee Reserve Cotes de Provence Rose 2022
    Chateau du Rouet Cuvee Reserve Cotes de Provence Rose 2022
    A lovely lift of red cherries, pomegranate and white nectarines leads into a fleshy and textured core. Subtle herbal tones of fennel and dried thyme and wild strawberries join in the chorus too. There's presence and intensity thanks to the riper 2022 vintage, balanced by a spine of chalky acidity. Pleasing phenolics on the finish add a tantalising chew, like biting through peach skins. A hint of white pepper to finish adds a twist (reminds me of adding pepper to strawberries, shouldn't work but it does!). Keep this delightful thirst slaker on hand this summer. GABRIELLE POY, PWS

    Around 60% Grenache with 30% Cinsault and a touch of the traditional Tibourenc grape the harvests are done at night to maintain freshness and the light maceration’s performed in temperature-controlled tanks to help maintain a wonderful lift to the wines. This results in a complex Rose that skirts the line beautifully between the richer Rose’s of Bandol but with the more delicate hand of Provence. PWS

  3. Domaine Gueissard Papilles Provence Rose 2021
    Domaine Gueissard Papilles Provence Rose 2021

    30% each Mourvédre, Grenache, Syrah and 10% Cinsault. Screwcap.
    Great value for AOP Côtes de Provence given the continued upward price climb of this appellation.

    A direct nose of brine and flint and grapefruit.  Drive and power upfront with orange zest and pink grapefruit flavours, though gives way to the more classic Provence experience of strawberries, cream and garrigue herbs as it washes over the palate.  A decent saline lick runs throughout; has individualism among a crowded field with enough freshness and punch to stand out.
