Slightly better than the Gilbert Jacquesson. Less sweet but still a bit too much for me. This has better depth, character, much more chalk, volcanics.
Strawberries, creamed cherries, some blackberries, baguette crust, good presence of chalkiness, saline, sea fossils, pink & red roses, good acidity, nice balance in the finish.
@K&L Rosé tasting in advance of V-day.

This was really a pretty wine. Besides the gorgeous color of this wine, the bright raspberry flavors and clean finish on a medium weight wine with some nice crushed almonds really made this work. Can’t remember whAt I paid but I’ll buy more if I can find.

Pretty decent, but not as bright with acidity as I expected. Seemed a little dumb. Nice enough though.
