  Consistent with my previous tasting notes. This is a nice, serious and balanced Grand Cru rosé that carries its moderately high dosage surprisingly well. Great structure, nice sense of weight and terrific intensity.

  Beautiful light peachy orange color of a Provencal rosé. Fresh and nuanced nose with aromas of wild strawberries, rowanberries, aromatic herbs, some autolytic brioche and a hint of ripe citrus fruit. Quite broad, full-bodied and rich on the palate with moderately noticeable, yet surprisingly balanced dosage (14 g/l), offset by a touch of nice bitterness and moderately high acidity. Layered flavors of fresh lingonberry-and-cranberry-driven red berries, ripe cherries, wild strawberries, some rowanberries, a little bit of autolytic brioche and a hint of mocha. Very fine, creamy and persistent mousse. The finish is quite long with nuanced flavors of ripe red berries and cherries, some tart lingonberries, a little rowanberry jam, light caramel character and a hint of spice that turns towards moderately noticeable bitterness.
  
  A tasty, weighty and serious rosé with rather high dosage, yet it doesn't distract much or at all, thanks to the balanced acidity and nice touch of bitterness. Rich, enjoyable stuff - although probably not the favorite of people who drink exclusively zéro dosage Champs. At approx 40€ the wine is priced according to its quality.

  Good rose, but maybe not at this price point.

  A beautiful shade of reddish orange.
  Fruity nose with peach, tangerine and slight strawberry. Some bisquity notes, nuts and brown sugar.
  Dry and refreshing full-bodied palate with lasting creamy moussé. Stone fruits and ripe red berries, some citrus peel bitterness, minerality, asian spice and toasted notes, even a dash of coffee. Lengthy finish. Not as easy and sugary as the nose suggested.
  Rather nice - though I'd like to see less of the sugary character. Craves for food.
