What a nice surprise. Recommended by local wine shop. Nice nose of rose petals and some grapefruit maybe. The flavor is crisp balanced citrus flavors with a quick finish. Had pre dinner with no food but see this going well with light meals and/or shellfish. Wonderful.

An absolutely terrific, delightful and inexpensive rosè enjoyed recently with escargot and tuna tartar at Bacchus on St. Maarten. A great QPR wine. Light, clean, crisp, clear, refreshing, light salmon color, well balanced acidity, very dry, slightly floral nose with an herbal hint and notes of tropical fruit, strawberry and citrus with an interesting and beautiful leaner more saline finish. One could very easily and effortlessly drink very large quantities. It is a flexible enough wine to pair well with lots of things including Asian food given the present acidity. Highly recommend this rosè.

really terrific rose, dry, very consistent body at the beginning and after two hours, light body so it is interesting to contrast it with a new world wine which tend to be medium body to me, wonderful with raw oysters in particular

Drank on the deck paired with a shrimp scampi that had some heirloom tomatoes cooked into it, so it had a little more acid and heartiness than a normal shrimp scampi. Paired beautiful. The fruit notes complimented the red pepper in the scampi, the acid and salinity complimented the shrimp. I hope to be able to find this wine again.

Rose saumon pale brillant. Au nez, petits fruits des champs, petites fleurs roses et violette, un peu de bobon poissons rouges(touche légère). En bouche, beau fruité non exagéré, acidité moyenne, longueur moyenne-. j'aime bien, mais moins convincant que les millésimes précédents.

At a price of $14.98, I appreciate the QPR. Having said that, keep in mind I am the rater and of the four people at the table, I am the least fond of French roses. The others liked this better than I.

I am still really enjoying this wine. Great experiment for me to drink Rose and this wine does well. Medium body, dry, terrific with raw oysters from the east coast as it softens their acidity. Also compliments a cheese tray as well.

Tasted at West Side Wines in West Hartford, CT. Pours a very light, simple pink. The nose is a bit reserved even at room temp, leaving the impression of sharp spice and peach. On the palate, lemon skin, salinity, and an overarching bitterness dominated. Firmly structured with medium(+) acid. Medium-length finish.
Definitely a love/hate wine...we didn't love it, but it is well-made and has a lot going for it. The bitter quality really hurt the wine. "Very good," 87/100.

Capsule was difficult to remove, glass stopper itself was okay. Very pretty nose. Light pink. Strawberry and grapefruit, very, very dry , tart, and finishes with a steel and mineral note.

Drank side-by-side with the '16. Drier, more wet rock and crisper acidity with less fruit than the '16. Still quite good. Leaner with the extra year.

PnP. Beautiful clear light salmon in color. Rose petals and citrus on the nose. Clean, crisp, and thoroughly enjoyable with a shrimp pasta primavera.
Enjoyed in a Riedel Vinum Chianti Classico glass at 45F.

Light pink, light nose even after warming in the glass. Lemon rind, saline, and a somewhat bitter aftertaste. Would prefer tasting it with shellfish.

Very pleasant, especially on a 97 degree day. The only thing that would make this better is some grilled octopus. Nice wine.

Great value, soft flavors of peaches, strawberries, and melon. A little sweet on the palette, but good nonetheless. I should have bought more...

Very light peach color. Flavors were different then most of the other roses I've enjoyed lately, and this wasn't my favorite.
