Community Tasting Note

Tim Heaton Likes this wine:

Tuesday, July 25, 2023 - PnP followed over two hours. Fresh, with a med(-) body, with the mineral influence slightly dominating that of the fruit element; on the nose, and the palate. This was served (and more or less maintained) at ~ 50F, a temp I found enjoyable for this particular wine. This rosé is a saignée blend of Grenache Gris (90%) Mourvèdre (5%), and Carignan (5%). Here, the grapes are harvested partially by hand. and partially by machine. Initial fermentation is at a controlled temp for ~ a month; malo is blocked, for obvious reasons. For the price, this has been a go-to wine for casual settings both here, and while in the region during extended periods. I think of it as a "better bistro wine", and have always appreciated its food friendly nature, as well as its refreshing qualities when serving as an aperitif. Easily recommended; now, and the next several years.
