"It has to be said that the estate has hit the nail on the head with this classy rosé, where the finesse of the body on the palate perfectly matches the aromatic depth. You might think of it as a white, but its long, finely peppery finish brings it back into the world of rosés. It's complex. (En Magnum, Bettane+Desseauve, June-July-August 2023 n°32)

Expert opinion
Decanter
Rated wine (guide 2023) 91/100
Guide Hachette des vins
Wine rated (guide 2024) 2*Stars (Outstanding wine)
About the wine:
Grenache (80%) and rolle form a happy marriage in this delicate rosé, with its trendy diaphanous color. Against all expectations, the bouquet displays a certain exuberance, opening out onto jasmine, yellow plum and butterscotch. Fresh on the attack, the palate delivers impeccable fruitiness in a round, slightly suave body, marked by a delicious biscuity note on the finish. Remarkable finesse and complexity for the table.

About the wine:
A blend of grenache, cinsault and rolle, Côtes de Provence La Londe Rose Fantastique 2022 offers aromas of red fruit, peach, raspberry, exotic fruit and lemon, followed by a medium-bodied, fruity, lemony palate with a juicy texture and refreshing finish - a classic Provence rosé.

About the wine:
Pale pink color with an onion-skin hue. Fresh ginger, chalky notes, wild berries, ripe citrus and floral notes. Lively freshness on the palate, medium weight with a supple texture, smooth extract and finely spiced notes of red berries and blood orange leading to a long finish.
