“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.”

“Pretty floral aromas are backed by fresh citrus and pomelo notes with a touch of candied fennel seeds. On the palate, behind the austere, slightly chalky white fruit, there is a darker, intense, perfumed raspberry, cherry and concentrated blackcurrant fruit which gives weight. It finishes with an almost inky-dark minerality - shouting out La Londe terroir and the Mourvèdre coming forward. Concentrated with fresh linear elegance and a hit of salinity and blood orange on the finish. This hot vintage had slightly more fruit from Clos Mireille.”

“Very pale, creamy pink. The restrained floral notes of this wine's youth have developed into more evident perfumed Sorrento lemon and orange blossom aromas, a characteristic also found in the Romassan rosé. On the palate, the fruit has developed a creamy soft richness, with white saline-mineral freshness and a long salted lemon tang. As the wine opens up there are notes of ripe, dark redcurrant and sour cherries and bitter almonds with a hint of sweet hazelnuts. Lovely fullness of fruit and great intensity, with a gorgeous lacy elegance and vibrancy.”
