Chêne Bleu Rose 2022

Sophisticated Summer Rosé

We can think of no better way to celebrate Summer’s arrival than with a sophisticated Rosé from the critically-acclaimed Chêne Bleu estate, perched high up in the Dentelles de Montmirail above Gigondas.

The freshly shipped 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.
