Lumière de Provence Rosé 2022

Provence Rosé is one of the world’s hot wines at the moment and this is a very fine example. A cracker. Specifically from Coteaux Varois en Provence, it is a blend of Cinsault, Grenache, Rolle and Syrah with malolactic fermentation prevented to enhance the freshness. This is the palest pink and offers rose petals and gentle red fruits with a minerally backing. A very delicate, clean and fresh style with a hint of citrus, there is good, bright acidity which gives the wine drive, all along the impressive length and crisp finish. Drink now and any time over the next year or two. Meanwhile, that length just persists.
