Wine Enthusiast
Made mainly from direct-pressed Grenache grapes, with the addition of Mourvèdre and Syrah, this Costières rosé owes its name to its tender color, which resembles the petals of the rosehips at the edge of the estate's vineyards. This delicate, airy and invigorating rosé, with its tangy aromas of red berries, is to die for!

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
3*Star rating (High-quality production, a benchmark in its sector)
About the domain :
A true pioneer of the appellation's qualitative revival, this estate boasts a variety of terroirs which it uses to create blends that balance finesse and structure. The wines are of the highest quality, and are constantly improving. In summer, François and Anne Collard offer walking and mountain-biking tours around the estate to discover their terroir and the flora and fauna of the region. Well worth the detour! An excellent estate with a few exceptional plots of old vines, producing regular, discreet wines that win us over every year.
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté Award-winning wines (Wines from this producer regularly win awards in the guide)
About the domain :
François Collard is a regular in the Guide, with wines that often rank highly. Established in 1994, he produced the first bottlings from the family vineyards (65 ha certified organic since 2014) under two labels: Mourgues du Grès, owned by the Ursulines de Beaucaire convent until the Revolution, and La Tour de Béraud, named after a 14th-century fire tower overlooking the vast Beaucaire plain. Never short of ideas, the Collard couple propose to discover all the facets of the estate via an unmarked trail equipped with Bluetooth terminals.

Note and review by M. THIERRY D. Published on 20/08/2020
The bottle is beautiful, but the entry-level cuvée les galets rosés is just as good (or even better in its prime).

A little disappointed this year compared to the 2017 which with less color was finer
