This pale pink rosé opens with an initial nose highlighted by a hint of spice, followed by notes of exotic fruit (mango) and citrus (lemon). On the palate, the attack is fresh, fruity, crisp, supple and long... A fine rosé for the table!

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2024) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
After Bernard Durand, who accompanied the Pic Saint-Loup's conversion from sheep-dominated polyculture to its recognition as a quality wine-growing zone, Régis Valentin, his nephew, has taken over the technical reins. Without fanfare, this is an estate to seek out for its powerful yet tasty Cuvée Vieilles Vignes, its Clos des Combes and its Grande Cuvée. The Cuvée Madame is even more ambitious, and the rosé is consistently delicious.
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2024) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
Régis Valentin, oenologist and cellar master, took over the estate created in 1960 by the Durand-Valentin families in 2001. He produces wines from 80 ha of vines (in organic conversion since 2019) occupying a beautiful terroir of hard limestone and red clay. A sure bet in the Languedoc.
Robert Parker - Wine Advocate
Rated (2018 guide) 90/100 (Wonderful wine)
About the wine:
This medium-bodied 2017 rosé has a richness you wouldn't suspect from its pale color. Savory and rich, with hints of sweetness but with a consistent, palatable, dark berry fruit side. The blend is 50% Syrah, 40% Grenache and 10% Cinsault, obtained by direct pressing in stainless steel tanks.
