Le Rosé, IGP Vaucluse, 2022
The 2022 is an even more serious and dialled-back incarnation than usual; a crisp, racy but intense blend of 88% Grenache, 10% Mourvèdre and 2% Grenache Blanc. Mourvèdre provides a salinity, which counteracts the juicy peach and red berry fruit of the Grenache beautifully; a light touch of smoke and herb atop some clear, fresh raspberry and strawberry characteristics, make for a wine of allure, vitality and grip. This exquisite Rosé makes a perfect summer aperitif, although it is also robust enough to partner a variety of summer fare.
critic reviews
A blend of Grenache Noir, Mourvedre and Grenache Blanc in unknown proportions, the 2022 IGP Vaucluse Le Rose from Chene Bleu offers up aromas of spring flowers, pear, peach, ripe orchard fruits and red berries. Medium-bodied, sappy and enrobing, its charming and round with a juicy core of fruit and a long, delicate, mouthwatering finish. Perfect for seafood.
