La Vie en Rose, Cinq Pétales, Cinsault Rosé, IGP Pays d'Oc Pending receipt of sample by November 1st, 2025-C332

Pale salmon in the glass, the nose is lively with fresh aromas of strawberry, red currant, sour cherry and raspberry. From the first sip it's clear that this is an exceptionally joyous and uncomplicated rose ideal for deckchair hoovering by the pool. The palate leads with candied red fruit including cherry, currant and plum but the finish includes a twist of Parma violets, cinnamon, thyme and rose petal. The acidity is more than up to the job and the finish is surprisingly long. A delicious glass of rosé that would be three times the price if it were from Provence. 2026-2027 - MP
