Wine Enthusiast
Première rosé combines elegance, gourmet roundness and saline expression. This cuvée rosé reveals a highly expressive nose, with exotic aromas of pineapple, lychee and fresh apricot blended with notes of white pepper and nutmeg. The palate is full-bodied, beautifully fruity, harmonious and fine, accentuated by saline notes on the finish. A rosé worthy of the appellation's finest!

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
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 :
This is one of Provence's most famous estates. It belongs to the Combard family, who manage this 85-hectare estate, 30 hectares of which are leased. The vines, located on the seafront in schistose soil, have been grown organically since 1979. We are currently in the process of converting everything to biodynamic viticulture. We welcome this commitment, which is no easy task for an estate of this size. While the wines are one of Provence's best-known assets, the family also goes to great lengths to welcome visitors, and during the summer months offers a cultural program well worth the detour.

Note and review by M. GILLES D. Published on 08/05/2022
In the same vein as its aromatic expression (white peach, strawberry, apricot), the palate is rich, crisp and fruity, with good tension. The whole displays good balance and flawless freshness, enhanced by a floral touch and a hint of spice. The sapid, full-bodied character of Première lasts right through to the finish, completed by a hint of iodine and a pleasant touch of bitterness. A perfect match at 10° with baked Mediterranean scorpion fish fillets on a bed of fennel seeds, served with fresh broad beans and cherry tomato confit.
