The vintage
The vintage started with a long winter and one of the driest ones in the past years followed by an inexistent Spring. The crop development was very slow due to important climatic variations. The winemakers’ work was therefore crucial to get good quality grapes in small quantities. 2013 was a complicated vintage and late but is wonderfully balanced and is very promising.
Location
Situated on the slopes of Mont Ventoux, the vineyard benefits from a cooler climate than down in the plain. The grapes mature slowly and maintain a good acidity. The wine is rich, fresh, balanced.
Terroir

Reviews
"Plump white cherry and strawberry notes lead the way in this rosé, while a stony edge lines the finish, adding contrast and length."
"Lightly herbal and sweet with strawberry flavor, a simple summer pleasure."
"A remarkably fresh and vibrant pink wine with hints of red fruit and a somewhat simplistic mid-palate. But the finish is dry enough to work with a wide variety of foods. sensational value."
"This is one of the tastiest and affordable rosés in the market. This coquettish little wine simply invites you to dive right in and enjoy its light fruity flavors, its appetite-inducing delicacy, and its crisp finish. Blended from Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault, it is an absolutely delightful, inexpensive wine."
