As with the Triennes '21 an attractive pale pink, but a slightly darker shade or so it seemed. This follows onto the palate, with just more depth in every dimension that makes it an absolute pleasure to drink. Frankly for the price you would hope so. This was delicious, very lovely in fact, but against the £7 starting price of the Triennes can't be said to be good value. The question is whether you would prefer to drink two of the former for every one of these and I think I'd still probably fall into the Tempier camp. It's stellar stuff, and is pretty ageworthy for this style. I've had a fair few now and I can't really say that they change much from one year to the next.

Posh rosés - 2024 selection (Crouch End Cellars): Showed a lot better than a bottle last month, and more like my first try of this in 2023, so I've now concluded that the unyielding bottle was probably slightly corked. Served a little warmer than the Triennes but even so was clearly the richer wine, with a full, expansive nose that reminded me of fizzy green sweets, and a rounded, sensual, red-fruited palate. Some trademark bitter herbs on the finish. We all liked this, but doubt its value at current prices. Loads of life left. 13%

Serious Rosé (Crouch End Cellars): Really impressive depth and concentration, rounded and spicy on the nose with ripe peach, raspberry and yellow plum. Developing a smoky maturity. White peach, strawberry and raspberry palate - delicious and fruity, possibly a little rough on the finish. Quality, versatile stuff.

So reliable, vintage after vintage. This was well balanced and held up to several courses of food (goat cheese crostini, octopus, pasta with cherry tomatoes, eggplant, burrata and shrimp). In my experience, no other rosé is so enjoyable on its own, and also is such a versatile complement to food.
