Le Paradou Côtes' de Provence Rosé 2017
Sud de France, FranceTrès chic, both in packaging and pale hue, this is a blend of cincault, grenache and rolle from the mountainous Sainte-Victorie region in the western flanks of Côtes' de Provence. Poor limestone, clay and red sand soils at 300m yield these grapes, gently pressed at cool temperatures and in stainless to preserve the delicate fruit notes. Finely salted and amply mineral, with wild strawberries, light pear, floral orange blossoms, perfumed melon streaming along the bone dry, linear palate. White pepper gently heats the finish. Delicate, yet with an intensity; the perfect duo for solo sipping, and for food.Tasted: 25 May 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $24.49 | 750ml | BCLS Exclusive |
