This Week's Must-Try Wines from Vinous

Welcome to this week's Must-Try Wines from Vinous! Each week we compile a list of wines from the Vinous database that you need to add to your wine wish list. With all the various regions, producers, and grapes, no week will be the same! All of the wines listed in this feature are available for purchase on Banquet . This week's must-try wines are from Eric Guido’s most recent additions to A Kaleidoscope of Colors: New Rosé Releases . Enjoy his notes for this week's must-try below! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ “The Rosé category has never been as exciting as it is today. We all witnessed a considerable surge in Rosé over the past decade, driven by a combination of the success of the Provencal style and sommeliers around the world deciding that Rosé was “hot.” Unfortunately, the result was an ocean of Rosé that suddenly flooded markets trying to copy that Provencal style and losing much of its character and flavor. Even today I encounter the occasional Cerasuolo producer explaining their preference for a more subdued color or flavor to cater to international markets. Recent tastings unveiled a stunning array of regional styles that suggest those days are thankfully coming to an end. Cerasuolo remains one of my top picks. The best wines offer depth, complexity, power and freshness. Readers will also find a selection of Rosé from around the world in this report. Expect to see updates to this article as our writers work to bring you their top picks. Until then, happy hunting.” -- Eric Guido, A Kaleidoscope of Colors: New Rosé Releases, June 2023 1. 2022 Domaine Bernard Baudry Chinon Cabernet Franc Rosé 2. 2022 Château Minuty 281 Côtes de Provence Rosé Blend 3. 2022 Domaine de Marquiliani Vin de Corse Rosé Gris de Marquiliani 4. 2022 Domaine de Fontsainte Gris de Gris Corbières Grenache Gris Rosé 5. 2022 Mas de Gourgonnier Les Baux-de-Provence Rosé Grenache Blend 6. 2022 Olga Raffault Chinon Cabernet Franc Rosé 7. 2019 Schramsberg Vineyards North Coast Brut Blanc de Noirs 8.

Tenuta Guado Al Tasso Scalabrone Bolgheri Rosato 2022

Delectable Wine
9.2

A pretty blend of roses, strawberries and mint introduces the 2022 Rosato Scalabrone. This is silky-smooth with medium-bodied weight and unexpected depth. Zesty citrus gives way to ripe red berries and sweet spice. A saline tinge of minerality defines the finish as the 2022 tapers off crisply refreshing and buzzing with a residual acid tension.

Olga Raffault

Chinon Cabernet Franc Rosé 2022

Delectable Wine
9.1

The 2022 Rosé is distinctly savory, nearly smoky, with a blend of bouquet garni, crushed peaches and wet stone. A tinge of minerality up front enhances its tart orchard fruits, adding a crisp, almost crunchy sensation as sour citrus punctuates the close. It tapers off with a spicy and wonderfully fresh saline tension, leaving just a subtle trace of licorice to fade. (Eric Guido, Vinous, June 2023) — a year ago

Château Minuty

Captivating from the first tilt of the glass, the 2022 Rosé 281 soothes the senses with sweet floral perfumes, chlorophyll, peach skins, cracked slate and white pepper. Silky and enveloping, this impresses further with its mix of savory and sweet, blending minerals and sour citrus with white strawberries and spice. Everything is in perfect balance as the 281 finishes crisply refreshing yet potent. The 2022 leaves a mouthwatering tension as lemon oil and mint nuances fade (Eric Guido, Vinous, June 2023) — a year ago

Mirabelle North Coast Brut Rosé Blend

Delectable Wine
9.1

A beautiful platinum pink with orange hues in the glass. The NV Brut Rosé Mirabelle opens with a perfumed blend of nectarines, ginger and spiced orange rind. This impresses with a sweet and sour combination of citrus and minerals carried across a core of zesty acidity. A chiseled bead of bubbles massages the palate. The Mirabelle finishes quite savory yet fresh. A salty flourish mingles with toasty brioche notes. (Eric Guido, Vinous, June 2023) — a year ago

Mas de Gourgonnier

Les Baux-de-Provence Rosé Grenache Blend 2022

Pretty white strawberry and mint aromas create an understated bouquet as the 2022 Rosé opens in the glass. This is soft and round with mineral-tinged pit fruits and inner florals that amass toward the close. The 2022 finishes subtle yet fresh, with lingering tension and tangerine nuances. (Eric Guido, Vinous, June 2023) — a year ago

Domaine de Marquiliani

Vin de Corse Rosé Gris de Marquiliani 2022

Delectable Wine

The 2022 Rosé Gris de Marquiliani is pretty and understated in the glass with a subtle blend of white smoke and young peaches. Silky and refined, this washes easily across the palate, guided by juicy acidity that further enhances its ripe orchard fruits. The 2022 turns toward the savory spectrum, finishing salty and mineral in style yet leaving the mouth salivating for more. (Eric Guido, Vinous, June 2023) — a year ago

Schramsberg Vineyards

North Coast Brut Blanc de Noirs 2019

Delectable Wine
9.2

More savory than sweet and wonderfully complex, the 2019 Brut Rosé North Coast bursts from the glass with toasty notes of fresh baguette and almonds, giving way to crushed apples and gingery spice. This rushes the palate with an elegant bead of silken bubbles. It is creamy yet energetic, and mineral-tinged orchard fruits add further tension. The 2019 leaves the senses wonderfully refreshed through the long, crunchy finale, as white strawberry and spice cookie notes fade. The Brut Rosé is a pleasure bomb, yet it’s wonderfully balanced throughout. (Eric Guido, Vinous, June 2023) — a year ago

Domaine de Fontsainte

Gris de Gris Corbières Grenache Gris Rosé 2022

Delectable Wine

The 2022 Rosé Gris de Gris is pale pink in the glass. Its bouquet showcases sweet melon, rose and confectionary spice aromas. The 2022 is round with a pretty inner sweetness and juicy acidity to balance. Ripe strawberry and citrus nuances linger well into the crisply refreshing finale. (Eric Guido, Vinous, June 2023) — a year ago

Domaine Bernard Baudry

Chinon Cabernet Franc Rosé 2022

Delectable Wine

The 2022 Rosé Chinon opens with a pretty blend of sweet spice, young peaches and freshly shaved pine. This is soft and round with a bump of zesty acidity and minerals that add tension. Ripe strawberry and melon tones wash across the senses. The 2022 finishes with decent length and a pleasantly chewy sensation as un tea and candied orange hints fade.
