Estadon La Vigne/La Roche Rosé Côtes de Provence 2025

This is a serious Rosé. If you fall into the category who think that Rosé is simply a bit of frivolous pleasure, you may hesitate. It would be a mistake. If ever a wine proves that a Rosé  can be as serious as any red or white, this is it. In 2025, the Côtes de Provence Sainte-Victoire appellation was officially recognised as a Cru. The vineyards are situated near the famous Montagne Sainte-Victoire, immortalised by Cézanne, and they benefit from the mystical Mistral winds. This is Provençal Rosé at its best. Under cork. A shimmering pale neon pink hue, this is elegant and refined yet with good focus and underlying power. The nose exhibits notes of strawberries, rose petals, lavender, a touch of pink grapefruit and fresh garden herbs. A line of juicy acidity runs from start to finish and the wine has excellent length and balance. A superb Rosé which will continue to give pleasure for at least the next four to six years.
