Château Carpe Diem - Côtes de Provence rosé 2020
91/100
RVF
"A blend of Grenache and Syrah with hints of Rolle, this pale-colored wine has tension and finesse of fruit with a beautiful salinity. Its crispness highlights its silky contours." (La Revue RVF May 2021 No. 650) This intense and expressive rosé reveals pleasant aromas of red berries followed by delicate notes of vine peaches. From the first sip, the palate reveals a lovely freshness brought by citrus fruits, followed by a slightly sweet and smooth roundness reminiscent of crushed strawberries. The finish gives way to a more mineral structure that perfectly reveals the terroir of Carpe Diem.
