  despite its advanced age, still pleasantly drinkable (in a screwcap may have helped). Good structure, some body, but light enough to drink as an apéritif. Lemony on the nose, dry on the palate, finishes with quite a lot of acidity, maybe too much for the genre.

  Une belle couleur distinctive d’un rose saumoné avec un nez fin sur des notes florales et fruitées. Un rosé sec à l’acidité rafraîchissante et qui trouvera avantage à être dégusté autour d’une table avec des mets léger sous le signe de la période estivale.

  From the conspicuously curvy bottle.
  
  Translucent, pale salmon red color. Aromas of strawberry, peach, some gooseberry and light herbal notes along with reductive hints of play-dough and a touch of gunpowder. Light-bodied and moderately high on the palate with dry, refreshing flavors of peach, herbs, some ripe citrus fruits, a little wild strawberry and a hint of pomelo. Overall the wine has a bit thin and slightly bitter taste. The finish is medium-long with flavors of pithy grapefruit, ripe citrus fruits, redcurrants and some wild strawberry.
  
  Oh well. A very basic Provencal rosé wine. Works nicely on its own, well-chilled on a hot summer's day, but offers very little of anything memorable. This isn't a bad wine, this is just so predictable it is boring and thus, quite mediocre, even though it shows good balance and structure with refreshing, almost lemony acidity. There just isn't anything that could lift it above its peers.

  Petit rosé frais à saveur de fraise fraîche.
  Bon sans trop poser de questions
