Nice concentration and good intensity of flavour, but remaining sufficiently fresh (although fresher would be better). Too serious to be light and too light to be serious. I always drink more than planned when this bottle is on the table and temperature exceeds 24 c°. Works well with food. Simple salad with roasted chicken or grilled fish. Bought at the domaine. On a separate note I did not buy any of the 08 red wines from Janasse as they were, well, ..., disappointing. Certainly after the brilliant (although a tad sweet) 07s, and prices did not go down :-(. Marcel Richaud's rosé is, to my taste, better this year (fine strawberries, with fine acidity ... yum, yum, yum), but more expensive.

Nice pink color, aromatics on the nose, slightly floral with stawberry, raspberry and some citrus, quite bright on the palate, nice crisp wine. Very easy drinking.
