GOLD MEDAL: Concours Mondial de Bruxelles 2023
SILVER MEDAL: VINUM World of Rosé 2023
93 POINTS: Wine Direct Tasting Team
"As always this is benchmark Southern French Rose, puts many more expensive Provence Rose to shame! Delicate, floral, crisp with lovely fruit weight. Dangerously drinkable"
- Wine Direct Tasting Team
"Exquisitely pale pink with lovely rose-petal reflections. The nose is delicately floral, a bouquet of white flowers and roses, with papaya and pomegranate, finishing on green pear and fennel. In the mouth it is deliciously fruity, supple, and refreshing, with crisp cherry and white peach, citrus fruit, and pomegranate, finishing on persistent notes of almond, flint, and aniseed. A superbly balanced rosé destined to give pleasure as an aperitif or at table."
