In a style that differs from the current trend for colorful, somewhat overly standardized wines, Géraldine Laval champions a livelier, more intense, and mineral style. Behind its very pale onion skin color, it delivers a fresh, thirst-quenching rosé (if only the warm season would arrive)! Enjoy it with grilled sardines, fresh marinated anchovies, fatty fish tartare (salmon) or fresh goat cheese. Give it a try!

Rated estate (2025 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing good wines; you won't be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
After learning the ropes from some of the region's leading winemakers, notably Olivier Jullien, Géraldine Laval settled in 2009 on high-altitude plots in the Terrasses du Larzac, in the Poujols and Lauroux area, in the far north-west of the appellation. This small 6-hectare estate benefits from a plot of mature vines. A talented and passionate winemaker, Géraldine Laval expresses the purity, tension, and integrity of her terroirs with precision and sensitivity. The estate has managed the 2021 vintage well and presents a very balanced range.

A pleasant surprise. Perhaps a little expensive...

Review and opinion by Mr. YANN B. Published on 09/30/2013
As a big fan of rosé, I'm afraid I have to say that this rosé is very disappointing. No aroma, closed and too acidic, even bitter—uninteresting.
