The 2017 Cotes de Provence Rose Le Paradou is the second vintage produced under this label, from a leased vineyard. True to the style of the other Pesquié rosés, the blend is Cinsault-heavy, at 60% Cinsault, 30% Grenache and 10% Vermentino. It comes across as quite ripe and fruity, with raspberries and strawberries leading the way. It's plump and medium-bodied, rounded yet crisp, with hints of spice and crushed stone on the finish. - Joe Czerwinski

Light pink in color, the 2017 Côtes de Provence Rosé from Le Paradou is a juicy, yet textured, lively rosé that does everything right. Offering lots of white cherry, strawberry, and floral notes, with an almost salty minerality, this beauty hits the palate with medium-bodied richness, nicely integrated acidity, and a clean, dry finish. This is what Provençal rosé is all about and it’s worth a case purchase. Drink it anytime over the coming summer months.
