Formerly named Baron G, this rosé cuvée offers an intense nose of exotic fruit, then with aeration reveals more fresh floral notes of lime blossom and white flowers. Apricot dominates on the palate, with a fresh, enveloping attack of sweet spices. The long finish takes us to melon aromas. This wine displays a remarkable typicity of terroir and grape variety!

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 16/20 (Vintage 2018) (Very good wine)
Domain rated (2020 guide) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
Situated on the Séoules hill in the hills above Nice at an altitude of almost 300 meters, the terraced vineyards benefit from the sea spray that tempers the summer heat. Having vinified 47 vintages and established the reputation of the Bellet appellation, Ghislain de Charnacé sold his 12-hectare vineyard in 2014 to property management company La Française REM (which also owns other vineyards). Considerable resources were deployed to restructure the vineyard, under the leadership, since summer 2018, of Jean de Laître, a talented master winemaker also present in the Bordeaux region. An ultra-functional winery at the foot of the old chapel now enables us to vinify as closely as possible to the terroir. A new style is emerging, with a reorganization of the range into three levels (entry-level, vins de terroirs and cuvées d'exception agnès), promising a bright future for this historic estate. The latest vintages demonstrate this welcome change of direction.

It's a bit expensive, the rarity makes the price but it's very good!

A small, confidential appellation, an opportunity to discover the Braquet grape variety.

Note and review by M. VINCENT T. Published on 04/07/2021
Still well-structured, with a hint of bitterness on the finish, this is a very fine gourmet wine.
