“The 2022 Rosé Château Romassan wafts up from the glass with a pretty blend of stone dust and savory herbs bwild strawberry hints. It’s silky and pliant on the palate, showing crisp orchard fruits, sour citrus and minerals that add a more tactile feel toward the close. This finishes potent and with admirable length. Young peach and sage hints slowly fade.”

“The 2022 Rosé Château de Selle Cru Classé opens with a striking bouquet, blending dusty dried flowers with ginger, a spritz of lemon and crushed apples. It’s supple and soothing to the senses, with a textural wave of white strawberry, candied orange and sweet inner florals. A core of brilliant acidity maintains a fantastic balance as this tapers off long and potent. A mineral staining and citrus hints tease the taste buds. Please pour me another.”

“The 2022 Rosé Clos Mireille Cru Classé is dreamy, wafting up with a perfumed blend of nectarine, sweet white flowers and white strawberry. Like pure silk on the palate, this soothes with its ripe orchard fruits, which are gently contrasted by a bitter tinge of sour citrus as juicy acidity adds fleshy depths. The 2022 cleans up beautifully as inner florals and confectionary spice echo throughout. This is a gorgeous Rosé today, yet it should evolve beautifully for years.”

“From vineyards touching the seashore, the maritime breezes seem to have contributed an extra crispness and a touch of sea salt. Floral notes, white stone fruit and dried hay aromatics lead on to crunchy red berries, cherries and juicy white stone fruit. Wild hedgerow acidity, gentle textured chalkiness, saline minerality and more vibrant red fruit. Fabulous concentration and ripeness with a lasting finish that combines pretty fruit with austere minerality.”

“A beautifully composed wine boasting perfumed, waxy, white floral aromas through layers of fruit, oak and acidity. There’s fresh fruitiness up front with crisp white pears and sweet, spiced apple compote, alongside honeyed florals, giving ripe, silky smoothness and an elegant purity of fruit. The oak is very subtly present, creating a richness and creaminess, and then the freshness kicks in. Full of perfumed Sorrento lemons, crunchy green apples, saline citrus acidity, firm minerality and some bitter almond oaky phenolics on the finish. Beautiful length, with a combination of precision and opulent charm.”
