2022 Chateau de Roquefort Corail, Cotes de Provence Rose
From: Cotes de Provence, FranceVarietals: 22% Grenache, 21% Syrah, 20% Cinsaut, 15% Carignan, 8% Rolle, 7% Mourvedre, 7% Clairette Taste & Critical Acclaim: A delicately spicy grapefruit nose is complemented by white peach, fennel, lychee, and slate on the palate. It is so clean and refreshing, and yes, it's dry and perfect for any evening on the patio, by the beach, on a boat, or for backyard get-togethers on the weekends. "A mix of Grenache Noir, Syrah, Cinsault, Carignan, Mourvèdre, Clairette, and Vermentino, all sourced from vines planted on clay-limestone and stony soils, the 2022 Cotes de Provence Rose Corail displays a lively, very fresh bouquet with aromas of peach, red berries, lemon and spring floral. Tense and perfectly balanced with racy acids and a moderately weighted structure, it’s fresh, juicy, and supple, with gorgeous notes of grapefruit and red berries on the finish. I have a weakness for this small estate in Roquefort La Bédule." –Robert Parker's Wine Advocate,
