A very balanced flavor with floral and peach aromas supported by moderate acidity. It's a style I wouldn't have chosen myself, but my friend brought it and I had a good experience.

Pale pink, very Provence. This is not the kind of bottle I would buy, but someone brought it as a gift and putting snobbery to one side it was actually rather nice. The bottle and the name are bit fluffy of course, but underneath is a perfectly acceptable rosé with pleasant strawberry fruit and a moreish tang. There are reports that it costs over £20 though, and for that kind of money you'd be hoping for a little more depth. Or I would anyway. This is why cheap Provencal rosé that has no lofty desires is the best kind of rosé. Here it seems to me that whilst eminently drinkable, you are paying serious rosé money for a regular rosé experience. Fluff does not come for free.

Really interesting beause although it lacks terroire, finesse, and character, somehow it is incredibly satisfying and eminently drinkable. Great choice for a Rose! (Qatar Airways DOH - LHR Business)

Retail $25. Under cork. Grenache, Cinsault and Rolle. I have lost count as to how many vintages of this wine I have tried, but I am pretty sure I have tried each vintage since about 2013. So however many that is. Fairly pale in the glass with oodles of wild strawberry, ripe cherry, with floral notes and minerality. The palate is tart, fruity, and balanced. Once again, another stellar wine from perhaps the leader in Provençal rosé.
Always a reliable and popular drinking wine in our market. This one shows a little more sneaky red fruit power and intensity on the nose and entry than most rose’s. Also has some nice body and texture. Definitely drinking very young quite acidic, but more than adequate enough fruit especially strawberry to counter the acid. Even a taste of orange on the mouth coating finish. 9/12

P30; 8/31/2023-9/3/2023 (The Anassa, Cyprus): 8 pretty bottles enjoyed on a boat days boat trip . A lot of ice was added something we consider the anathema of wine but still we love them all.

P30; 8/31/2023-9/3/2023 (The Anassa, Cyprus): Wobbles between 89 and 90 depending more on our mood than the wine and on the day with the sunset at the beach at the Anassa Cyprus 5 bottles flew by and could have never been better. Soft , pale, lacks any sense of confectionery and is just the pretty little number. Classic and dependable and an easy 89-90 albeit with this backdrop it could have been 100 😄
Served by the glass in United Polaris from Sydney to Los Angeles. Light salmon color. Strawberry and tangerine rind are the dominant notes. Smooth, dry, slightly tart palate, with good acidity.
Not bad for what it is, but I’m not a Rose guy at all. Decent structure and a good linger on the finish.
Consistently good and a wine to bring the sunshine. Soft , pale, flavourful, soft fruit and bright core. Always delivers and very dependable vintage in vintage out. Better from magnums and even better from 3L. King and queens 5L.

By the glass at the BA Lounge , London. Granted not a natural place for a rose but we have it a taste and indeed almost as always this is of the best quality rose to the point of being vintage agnostic. Better by the beach of course and from a massive bottle.

Fresh fruity minerals embedded in a well structured, elegant and complex refreshing juice. Proven to be an excellent help in hot summer circumstances.

Bought Majestic UK approx £22.00
Nice limestone/mineral profile, some gentle ‘white’ tannins, attractive sustained flavours of near-dry cranberry/tart plum/greengage/tart peach. Interesting glass of serious Rose’. Nice flavour lilt at the end.
VFMoney? ….feels worth the £22.00, will be buying again.

Very good but a somewhat unexciting rose. Seems to check all the blocks required for mass market distribution.

Having enjoyed the 2019 and 2020 previously, this seems very consistent year to year. Nice, fresh, not cloying, best quite well-chilled.
And definitely a repeat buy at the bargain price of ~US$8 that I got some for!

Pale salmon in color
Light to medium in body, crisp and refreshing.
Dry on the palate with mild complexity.
Showing raspberries, light cherries, limes, apples, grapefruits, bitter herbs, earth and vegetables.
A tad bitter on the ending with almonds and limes.
This is an enjoyable Rosé from France. Easy drinking and a nice pool wine that will pair nicely with food.
Showing a lovely mouthfeel, but a tad too bitter for me.
13% alcohol by volume.
88 points.
