 Tasted by ManuKey on 3/19/2017 & rated 87 points: Idem à la dernière bouteille, toujours aussi bon, nuancé et rafraichissant, à boire au soleil! Bon rapport Q/P et bio! (639 views)

 Tasted by legarejm on 7/18/2015 & rated 89 points: Golden apple, light spices, melon notes. Refreshing. Strong finish even though it has the light color. Very nice QP. Will buy again! (759 views)

 Tasted by czar33 on 6/1/2015 & rated 87 points: Très très bien encore, sec, droit, pas bonbon du tout. (304 views)
 Tasted by Le Gaulois on 5/24/2015 & rated 89 points: Un peu moins réussi que 2012 et 2013 mais tout de même un excellent RQP.
Ce 2014 est plus sur le silex et un peu metaliique lorsque froid, un peu moins floral que les 2 denriers millésimes. (243 views)
 Tasted by kosmik on 5/18/2015 & rated 87 points: Cinsault et Grenache
12,5% d'alcool
Oeil : rosé-saumoné léger, opacité 2/10, viscosité faible en parois
Nez : projection d'intensité 3/10, frais, pêche, carambole, fleur blanche, anis/menthol, iode, acier inox
Bouche : sec, plutôt ample, acidité rafraîchissante à vive, avec une impression d'acide malique (dur), amertume moyenne-forte, persistance moyenne(-faible), rétro fruitée, florale, amère, métallique
Conclusion : dur lorsque très froid, il a donné le meilleur de lui-même en tempérant. Certains rosés méritent un peu de temps de cave pour se détendre, peut-être est-ce le cas ici... (?)

Rosé Blend

"Rosé blend" can mean a blend of just about any varietals since the designation comes from the resulting color of the wine.
