You can already sense there’s some real substance under the hood. . 👃: First impression: it’s bursting with ripe red fruit. Crushed strawberry, jammy raspberry, and a cherry just starting to ease into vacation mode. Then, the supporting cast arrives. A touch of white peach, a hint of citrus zest, some dried flowers... and a woody caress that never tries to steal the spotlight. The barrel aging adds subtle vanilla, sweet spices, and almost a suggestion of toasted brioche. . 👄: The attack is supplie almost tender. Then, the wine gains depth and...

IGP Alpilles Rosé "Cuvée 1888" from Domaine de Saint Roch . Vintage: 2024 . 🍇: Caladoc and Merlot . 👀: At first glance, a distinct salmon hue—bright and luminous. It is clean, vibrant, and lively. . 👃: Immediate first impression on the nose: crushed strawberries. Then come redcurrant, fresh raspberry, and a hint of tangy candy. Underlying this is a more Mediterranean nuance: dried herbs, a subtle floral touch, and a breath of sun-baked *garrigue*. It smells like summer. . 👄: The attack is supple and immediately fresh. Fruit flavors arrive quickly—strawberry, fresh cherry, and a subtle hint of stone-fruit pit that adds depth. The Caladoc contributes a generous, slightly wild fruit character, while the Merlot smooths everything out with gentle roundness. ...

AOP Sable de Camargue rosé, "Nuits Bleues" cuvée from Domaine Terres de Sable . Vintage: 2024 . 🍇: Grenache Gris and Grenache Noir . 👀: The color is stunning.

Côtes de Provence Rosé Cuvée Alexandra from Château Rasque .  Vintage: 2024 .  🍇: 50% Cinsault, 50% Grenache .  👀: In the glass, it's a color that plays the perfect blush.
