chemically, herbaceous and petrol nose, not much fruit with a hint of sulfurous cabbage. Taste had some red fruit, tomato, pretty big hit of alcohol, actually needs some air and it gets a bit better.

Ce château du sud-ouest de la France offre, année après année, un rosé particulièrement savoureux. Résultat d'un bel assemblage de syrah, de négrette et de gamay, son nez intense propose des arômes d'agrumes et de buis. Bourré de caractère, cet excellent pinard comblera l'amateur à la recherche de rosés davantage goûteux.

Well, I got one of WaitinginManassas' case! This does not have the fruit of many rose's, it's much more herb/vegetable driven. The nose is a unique mix of tomato juice, funk and a touch of petrol. The tomato comes through strongly on the palate, acidic like a tomato as well, along with herbs and a mineral-driven finish. Medium to full-bodied. Very unique but I like it.
Edit- Technically I guess a tomato is a fruit in which case this puts a new twist on fruit-forward ;)

Un classique. Très bon rapport Q/P.

Ce qu'on attend d'un rosé : tout simplement succulent. Très bien avec un rôt de porc braisé et une salade de riz sauvage.
