La Closerie des Lys Les Fruitières Rosé 2020

Limoux, Languedoc, Sud de France, FranceThis pale rosé blends syrah, cinsault, grenache, and merlot from the Aude in the south of France. The Château's vineyards are in the Pyrenean foothills, and they have 272 acres planted with 13 varieties. Fruit for the rosé comes from the highest elevation plots at 600 metres, hence the freshness and delicacy. Juicy wild strawberries, grapefruit, orange, and watermelon, much like last year, drive the engine front to back, finishing snappy and bright. We enjoyed this with a spinach and chicken blueberry salad, but it is capable of performing solo on a warm patio. Love the price.Tasted: 11 August 2022Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
