(2024) In its very fancy bottle and with a super pale colour this is a Provence ringer, but actually from the Languedoc. It's one of the most vibrant, intense wines of its style in this year's round-up, peach, pink fig and strawberry among the brightly fruity aromas. The palate follows through, the keen stripe of rhubarb-like acidity flashing through the ripe red fruits. Crisp, fruit-filled, distinctive and impressive.
(2024) Up among the Languedoc's best rosés alongside the wine from Argali, this blends mostly Grenache from volcanic soils with Roussanne grown in vineyards surrounded by garrigue scrubland. A portion is also matured in oak barrels. Pale, coral-touched pink, it's a mineral and refined wine aromatically, some melon and delicate floral notes, a whisper of vanilla. In the mouth it has lovely texture, and the raciness of the taut, quite pithy acidity sits against really composed, lightly apricot and peach fruit. Tart red berries in the mix too, and finishes with just a hint of bittersweet nuttiness.
(2024) A single vineyard rosé made with organically grown Pinot Noir, the colour is an elegant pale pink. The aromas open with a definite sense of gravelly, lightly truffled, classic Pinot character. A fragrant cherry and floral note comes through. In the mouth, the juiciest of blood orange fruit and acidity. There's a lime and orange peel sense of more savoury, textural character, but the acidity runs like a knife through this, giving a firm, taut length and a lightly spicy finish. No UK retailers at time of review.
(2023) An unusual blend of Grenache and 15% Roussanne from the Côtes de Thongue, and ninth generation winemaker, Olivier Coste. It has a pale peach colour and charming but intense nose, a little stony pebble quality, plenty of strawberry and small red berries and a limey background. In the mouth there's a serious, vinous quality to this. Succulent is the word, with ripe pear and a teasing nuance of tropical fruit, then loads of pink grapefruit and orange flashes through to a delicious and sustained finish.
(2022) I have to say I absolutey loved this super-pale, crystalline blend of Grenache from volcanic soils, and Roussanne grown in rocky vineyards surrounded by garrigue scrubland. There is some rose-hip and Love Hearts confectionery brightness, but the palate bursts through with a winning combination of sweet, ripe peach fruit, a waxy lemon rind acidity and a long, beautifully balanced finish.
