Nose: Super chalk minerality with fresh strawberries. Palate: The superb minerality really shows with fresh strawberries and cherry hints. This last bottle is showing very well and much more nuanced than the first one (notes on 12/24/19). Now 91 points.

Nose: Nice mineral aromas and stone fruits. Palate: Fresh strawberries with cherry hints. Decent acidity and a pleasant finish. Well made Provence rose but a bit stiff at $40, however it is one of the more rare roses in the world. The 2017 was much better. 89+ points.

A very nice rose, but with a questionable QPR, even at the $40 sale price. Wine-searcher tells us that, "... the indicative blend is Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah." The nose yielded strawberries and minerality. The medium to minus palate yielded virtually the same strawberry and minerality, in a nicely balanced, somewhat delicate, but not very memorable wine.

On par with last bottle (notes on 4/7/20). Fabulous minerality and balance. I like this better than the Clos Mireille bottling. 91+ points.

Nose of strawberries and some rose petal. On the palette the wine is soft and mildly delicate. Well balanced.
