"Lightness, harmony, and the rich flavor of citrus!"

A lovely fruitiness unfolds on the palate, full of freshness, revealing tangy red berries, citrus notes, and a subtly spicy, licorice-tinged finish. It’s an excellent introduction to the wine. A rosé that will be your perfect summer companion, offering superb value for money!

Rated estate (2021 guide) 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable vintage, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)

About the estate:

Located just 900 meters from the sea, this family-owned estate of nearly 80 hectares sold its entire production in bulk until Yannick Burles arrived in 2012 as technical director. Most of the production is now bottled on the estate, producing fine vintages, and year after year the wines are improving admirably. The vineyard has been carefully restructured, which bodes well for the future of this rising star of the La Londe appellation, which is now contributing to the dynamic growth of wines from this commune with undeniable potential. The current team is making the wines shine.

About the estate:

This vineyard, whose existence dates back to the 16th century, became the property of the Carthusian Fathers of La Verne in 1588. In 1855, Horace Vernet, the official painter to Napoleon III, purchased it and built a château on the estate. In 1920, it was purchased by the Faré family, who still own the estate today. They resumed bottling on the estate in 2010 and, in 2018, entrusted the management of its 65 hectares of vineyards to Julie Barneau and Christophe Deffilippi.

Review by Mr. Gilles D. Published on September 30, 2024

The Grenache-Cinsault blend—with Grenache making up the majority—produces a rosé that is slightly less powerful than the 2022 vintage, yet remains just as smooth and sensual. It beautifully balances fullness, freshness, and sweetness, centered around distinctly fruity aromas reminiscent of redcurrants and fresh strawberries, complemented by subtle spices and a hint of candy. The creamy, caressing texture is supported by a delicate mineral backbone, the intensity of which is accentuated by a pleasant salinity on the finish. A lovely pairing with bouillabaisse, paella, and of course Mediterranean red mullet on a bed of tomatoes, capers, and black olives. Score = 3.9.
