June 28, 2021 - Very pale and delicate, light red fruit, delicious very cold. Meant to quaff without too much analysis.
June 10, 2021 - Consistent with a few months ago. Very enjoyable.
May 7, 2021 - Lovely (very) pale rose, almost straw colored rose. Dry with strawberry notes. Paired wonderfully with hot smoked salmon. Wish we had more!
January 20, 2021 - Orangish pink color. Fresh strawberry aromas. Creamy strawberry flavors with a touch of earthy pineapple.
October 5, 2020 - Nice creamed strawberries. Good
August 6, 2020 - Asian pear, rose petals and some pineapple. Zippy acidity. Highly quaffable on a warm day.
June 12, 2020 - I continue to enjoy this lean and pale rose style from the Varois producers that Garagiste has introduced me to. Delayed in shipment by a season, this still had does of fresh snappy acidity and was a great June patio wine with cheeses, flatbread, etc. The Cinsault and Grenache led blend has a nice wild strawberry pucker and mouthwatering acidity. Nice, would look for this again in future vintages.
June 6, 2020 - Celebrating our week in Provence, where we were not as planned because of COVID-19. Did a Zoom meeting with our friends over there. This is a nice CdeP. Sadly only had 3 and now all gone.
May 2, 2020 - Consumed over ~2 hours in small pours at fridge temp. Ripe melon (watermelon) and a bit of bubblegum on the nose straight out of the fridge, but plenty of grapefruit acidity and a refreshing pithy bitterness on the palate. Pretty good QPR here.
May 1, 2020 - I love Cote de Provence Rose which is wonderfully pale and is lovely and refreshing. This was a very good representative.
