Cuvée du Golfe de Saint Tropez Côtes de Provence Rosé 2019

This is the only wine from Provence which can use the famous name of Saint-Tropez, with vineyards located on hillsides close to the town which was made famous by Brigitte Bardot in the sixties. This is a fuller and more traditional Southern French style that shows good complexity. Pale onion skin in colour, there is pretty dried raspberry fruits with earthy spice giving a strong French feel to the overall package. It’s then deliciously dry and rounded from the high proportion of grenache with a touch of grip that sustains a finish of good length. It’s an each way style that could be enjoyed with light dishes or on its own.
