Château de Roquefort Corail Côtes de Provence Rosé 2022
92 POINTS: Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
"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." - Wine Advocate
This vintage’s Corail is a judicious blend of Grenache Noir, Syrah, Cinsault, Carignan, Mourvèdre, Clairette, Vermentino. Clear pink bouquet, a finely spiced citrus nose, slightly lemony, floral. The palate is taut, white fruits, citrus, hint of fennel … a Rosé for every occasion and any meal!
I enjoyed the wine in so far as it is well rounded - the taste of black fruit evident - not sure about the liquorice though. All in all for the price a pleasant easy drinking wine.
Super ripe very smooth dry red, with just a hint of Cherries in that Italian style and You are able to drink this wine with or without food, Very good value at $20.
We've been fans of their Syrah and Chardonnay for some time and this is another go-to product we'll add to the list.
Light in colour, but plenty of depth and flavour and pleasingly dry.
Highly recommended.
