"Based on a blend of Grenache and Syrah, La Closerie Rosé 2019 is both the most mineral and the most concentrated of the three rosés tasted. Crushed stone dominates the nose, while the rather round palate expands to show notes of fresh herbs, Alpine strawberries and lime zest, ending with a wet stone finish." (Wine Advocate - Joe Czerwinski)

About the wine:
From a blend of Grenache and Syrah, La Closerie Rosé 2019 is both the most mineral and the most concentrated of the three rosés tasted. Crushed stone dominates the nose, while the fairly round palate expands to feature notes of fresh herbs, Alpine strawberries and lime zest, ending with a wet stone finish.
