  This is such a great and versatile rose. More full bodied than most roses
  It was a great aperitif and a great pairing for a Caesar salad!
  Can’t go wrong with this bottle, absolute gem
  Such a versatile bottle

  The first AOC for Rose, and that AOCs most storied property. Fresh, but with also some guts to it. And has a bit of a bitter, herby quality to the back of the palate. This with blacked fish is apparently just amazing.

  The 2022 vintage is quite lovely with a nose that reminds me somewhat of the 2021. The palate on the 2022 is however a bit brighter with more vibrant acidity, yet it is also noticeably more bitter in the finish. The bitterness isn't off-putting but it does make it less gluggable than the previous vintage and calls more to be accompanied by food. Perhaps it just needs to settle a bit more in the bottle. In summary though, I would gladly buy/drink this again.
