Rosé from the Côtes de Provence is exactly the wine that so many of us think of when we think lazy, sunny days in cafes by the Mediterranean. This one comes from 30-year-old vines from the Coeur du Var, which is located in the centre of the region. The palest of Rosé hues, almost a straw white if there is such a thing, the wine is wonderfully aromatic, filling the room with notes of florals, rose petals, citrus, herbs, spices and a note like a windswept lavender hillside. Seamless in style, this is fresh and quite vibrant with good focus and a lingering finish. Enjoy this now and over the next three years. If you can’t actually get to the Mediterranean this summer, at least you can drink as though you are there. Points: 93/100
