Glistening orange-pink. Vibrant, mineral-accented cherry, peach, and honeydew scents, along with orange pith and floral nuances. Stains the palate with juicy red berry, citrus fruit and lavender flavors that show very good depth as well as liveliness. Shows firm tension and dusty mineral character on the long, penetrating finish, which leaves melon and blood orange notes behind. - Josh Raynolds -- Vinous

By farming specifically for rosé, cousins Jean-François and Christian Ott regularly turn out exceptional wines. This one comes from their 150-acre estate in La Londe Les Maures, the vines nearly reaching the Mediterranean Sea. A blend of 63 percent grenache and 20 percent cinsault, with syrah and a small amount of vermentino, the wine is richer than its pale color suggests, with notes of Brazil nuts as well as orange, peach, apricot and cherry. And yet it remains refreshing, with a saline acidity keeping the wine sleek and restrained.

A soft, ripe wine, this offers red fruits and citrus flavors surrounded by richness, textured with tight minerality and intense acidity. This complex wine will take a little time to come into its own. Drink from late 2021. ROGER VOSS
