(9/2022) This dynamite Cotes de Provence Rose is the product of former Marseillais jewelers who followed a dream to leave the big city - now quietly craft this rocking estate rose for a decade. Their 13 hectares of vineyard is surrounded by pine and oak forest and certified organic and biodynamic: no pesticides or chemicals, all organic fertilizer, sheep weeding and horse ploughing doing the field work. Winemaking is overseen by a hand-picked lieutenant from Domaine Tempier, Daniel Abrial. The blend of Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault and Carignan delivers snappy cherry skin, aromatic crushed white stone, cherry blossom, fresh watermelon, salty limestone minerality and grapefruit essence - nothing candied. For Provencal rose, this delivers 'extras' - with a dense medium-bodied palate providing terrific tension, depth, length, vivacity and structure - dare we describe it as "Baby Bandol"? We just might. This is a style and quality of Rose that will age nicely for two summers if inclined.
