Wine Spectator: 91 Points

Creamed orchard fruit and creamy mango notes are augmented with oak in this stylish warm rosé which is salty and round on the palate with good length and structure. Offering nice texture and weight this is for fans of a more structured polished version. Grenache Rolle and Syrah. Drink now through 2028. 700 cases imported.

Jancis Robinson: 16.5 Points

Pale golden salmon colour. There is certainly a lot of concentration here though I would hope most white burgundies would have more marked acidity. It's far from the most refreshing rosé but it's certainly distinctive and you could imagine enjoying it with a rich creamy lobster dish in a very fancy restaurant ? so long as a siesta beckoned afterwards. There's quite an opulent impression on the end with a little kick of salinity. Definitely a food rosé. I may try it out with an Ottolenghi chicken dish tonight. (Drink between 2023-2026)
