Pale peach-straw color with aromas of nectarine, sliced apple, raspberry and cream. It’s medium-bodied and creamy with crisp acidity and a clean, rounded finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink now.

Wine Enthusiast, July 2021

This pale-colored wine is ripe and full of wild strawberry flavors. Textured acidity gives spice and a saline tang that will soften as the wine ages a bit. Drink from late 2021. Organic. ROGER VOSS

The 2020 La Mascaronne Provence Rosé is a well-regarded wine with a proprietary blend of Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah, Rolle (Vermentino), and Mourvèdre. Produced by La Mascaronne in the Provence region of France, this rosé has captured the attention of several professional reviewers for its distinct characteristics and quality.

This wine exhibits a pale peach-straw color, as noted by James Suckling, who scored it 90 points. He describes it as having “aromas of nectarine, sliced apple, raspberry, and cream,” and highlights its “medium-bodied and creamy” texture, complemented by “crisp acidity and a clean, rounded finish.” Suckling recommends drinking it now and appreciates that it’s made from organically grown grapes.

Vinous, with a slightly higher score of 92 points, also praises the wine's appearance, describing it as “shimmering salmon skin.” Reviewer Josh Raynolds points out the “mineral- and spice-accented red berry and pit fruit scents” that are complemented by a “suave floral topnote.” On the palate, it offers “lively strawberry, blood orange, and nectarine flavors” that develop slowly with air. He commends the wine for its “fine definition and strong persistence on the penetrating finish,” leaving behind “repeating pit fruit and mineral notes.”

Wine Enthusiast’s Roger Voss, who awarded the wine 90 points, comments on its ripe, wild strawberry flavors and textured acidity, which gives it a “spice and saline tang” that he expects will soften with a bit of aging. He suggests drinking it from late 2021 and notes that it is also organic.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate gives the wine a 91-point rating, describing it as being “on the stony, austere side.” Reviewer JC highlights scents of “crushed stone” along with “hints of strawberries, melon, and citrus.” The medium-bodied palate is described as “linear and direct, with mouthwatering acids and a crisp, refreshing finish,” recommending it be consumed over the next year or so.

Overall, the 2020 La Mascaronne Provence Rosé is a noteworthy wine, appreciated for its blend of flavors, crisp acidity, and organic origins. Its appeal spans across several reviewers with scores ranging from 90 to 92 points, making it a solid choice for rosé enthusiasts.
