"Once again the wood treatment is perceptible though it remains sufficiently subtle to not interfere with the appreciation of the very ripe aromas of roasted plum, cassis, violet and lovely array of exotic spice elements. The surprisingly full-bodied flavors are bigger than what is typical for RSV yet though the extra size and weight does not significantly compromise the refinement of the serious, mouthcoating and lingering finish where the only nit is noticeable warmth. While not quite as structured as … more

Don't confuse La Part des Vivants with the tons of Côtes du Rhônes stacked hither and thither throughout your retail store of choice. Most CdR's you'll find are from the southern Rhône and based on Grenache. And though many are nice, drinkable wines, they couldn't be more different than this dark, northern counterpart comprised mostly of Syrah and sourced from the vineyard slopes around Ampuis. Northern Côte du Rhône expresses a much darker component of fruit flavors such as wild … more

Domaine Gavoty excels at creating soulful Rosé that is very refreshing. This complex and subtle Rosé is the resultant blend of three grape varieties grown on clay and limestone.

3 hectares. Biggest parcel of the Domaine, across 2 parcels both over 80 years old. One parcel on the border
between Montmains & Foret and then the second one in Foret ie both straddle the line but he bottles both
together as ler Cru Montmains. Character - Very straight, weight in the mouth. Tension, more intellectual. Lilian's

Truly emblematic of what we love and expect from Provençal rosé, the Guiessard Les Papilles has our tastebuds tingling. Pretty white floral scents, fresh orange zest and windy seaside hills blanketed by wild herbs. A crisp palate with remarkable length, and freshness you'll nowhere else in the world.

"This is also quite aromatically restrained that not quite as elegant as there is plenty of sauvage character on the forest floor and ripe dark berry fruit-suffused nose. The succulent, round and seductively textured medium-bodied flavours that aren't particularly dense, all wrapped in a dusty and slightly grippy finish. The balance isn't quite dialled in though it will probably improve somewhat over time as the tannins progressively mellow. 90-92 points" - Allen Meadows, Burghound
