After the Sicilian off dry white which I drank only a glass of in disappointment, I decided to open something I knew would make me happy. We are watching Dunkirk while drinking this wine and the contrast between the on-screen drama and the funky liveliness in the glass is stunning!
As usual the nose is a bit funky at fist and takes a good 20 to 30 minutes to set into place. Then it's violet, blueberry, clay, that iron thing too, which I always smell in this cuvée, no matter the vintage. The palate is big, bright and fruity. There are blueberry notes all along, some cherry too. Some width, a nice and soft mouthfeel, some tannins in the rear, and a really nice anf long finish with fruits, some pepper, and a nice tannic layer. There is a subtle savory note too, almost meaty, that makes it more complex than you would have bet at first. Of course this is, as always, a very biased review, but I mean, what's not to like there? — 5 months ago
Awesome rosé. Acidic and full of flavor with no sweetness. Watermelon and raspberries. Slightly minerally / saline. Could just keep drinking and drinking, especially on a warm summer evening. — 3 years ago
Red berries, olive brine, clay, sunshine... An easy drinker, yet complex enough to keep interest. — 2 months ago
Aligote, not Trousseua. Ripe citrus, decent minerality and high acidity. — 8 months ago
