Bright and fresh aromas of peach, melon and violets immediately spring forward with notes of stone and earth in the background. This mouthfilling wine displays a wide range of complex flavors including grapefruit, pear, white strawberry, and jasmine, all supported by a earthy mineral base. The wine has yet to show off its true character and will be even better starting warmer months of 2025.

Flinty gun smoke blows off to reveal delicate notes of peach and lime blossoms, with a briny, savory character. Subtle leesy, toasty hints detail the suave palate, making this more savory than fruit-driven. Elegant, with nice length. Sémillon and Rolle. Drink now through 2028.

The texture is impressive, with its subtle chewiness supporting blackberry pâte de fruit, violet and light mesquite notes. Elements of loam and earthy leafiness bring a savory dimension alongside floral violet and smoke highlights. Charred mesquite marks the elegant and suave finish. Well-done. Mourvèdre, Grenache and Syrah. Drink now through 2032.

The 2023 Rosé Château Romassan captivates with a bouquet that mixes savory and sweet, as nuances of D'Anjou pear and lime zest combine with spring flowers, ginger and green melon. This is vividly fruit-focused within, with cooling acidity and silken textures, coming across as lifted and refined yet also potent. Its minerality shines through the finish, crisp, nearly crunchy and long with a spicy tinge that pinches at the palate. Complexity and shear depth make the Chateau Romassan impossible to ignore.

Delicate and floral in the glass, the 2023 Rosé Château de Selle Cru Classé wafts up with a captivating blend of freshly sliced nectarines, minty herbs, peach sorbet and wet stone. This is seamlessly silky and serene, focused on purity, with ripe orchard fruits and candied lime motivated by a core of tantalizing acidity. It’s potent and long, with a spicy flourish of ginger and citrus while leaving a sweet herbal tinge that lingers on and on. The 2023 Château de Selle is simply stunning.
