It may be daft to call this rosé vinous, but against the light and smashable ‘drink in the sun’ entry level Provence rosés this is immediately serious, long, sappy and complex, with an array of detailed fruit and saffron/earthy flavours and a brush of fruit tannin. A rosé one can drink with a steak, fantastic length here and plenty of hedonistic pleasure. A grown-up style.

“Peach, blood orange, redcurrant, rosehip and dried flowers, a little nutmeg and spice, and a smattering of smoky dried herb. It’s crisp, sports a little blood orange bitterness, a fine milky/chalky texture, peach skin and citrus tang, a little leesy creaminess, and a tight and sappy finish of good length. Classic Provence.” 93 points, Gary Walsh, Winefront
