Tasting notes
Classic pale and delicate Provence pink in colour, with plenty of wild strawberry and dried flower aromatics bursting from the glass. Refreshing acidity and a vibrant core of raspberry coulis, hard candy and white peach flavours with a fine lace-like silkiness on the palate. Lovely finesse to the texture of the wine and in perfect balance. This is top drawer quality Provence Rose at its absolute best.

The 2018 Côtes De Provence Sainte Victoire Grand Ferrage Rose offers more salinity as well as racy notes of tart peach and strawberry fruits, medium body, bright, juicy acidity, and a great finish. This is another remarkable Côtes Du Provence Rosé from this talented blender.
Light brilliant orange. Ripe citrus fruits and red berries on the incisive nose, with a hint of lavender in the background. Smooth and fleshy in style, showing good heft to mineral-laced blood orange and strawberry flavors that pick up a spicy white pepper flourish on the back half. Firms up on the finish, which hangs on with strong, minerally persistence.
I was pleasantly surprised to find out that this wine (tasted blind) was Mathilde Chapoutier's 2018 Cotes de Provence Rose Grand Ferrage. Red berries and stone fruit abound on the nose, followed by a medium-bodied wine that's silky-textured and ripe, with an appropriately dry, stony finish. Nicely done!
