Cave de Lumières Collection Lumières (Rosé)

2017
Semi-opaque. Pretty red fruit and crunchy red fruit on the nose. Slightly black minerality and a hint of chalky salinity on the palate. Crunchy red fruit and pretty concentration. Elegant wine that is ageing quite well, but a bit too fruit-forward than most wines that I would expect to age. Crunchy, elegant and very delicate.

About us
We’re mother and son duo Elizabeth Gabay MW and Ben Bernheim. Between us, we’ve been involved in the wines of southern France for over 30 years. Elizabeth started working with the wines of Provence back in 1986, and for the past 20 years has lived on the eastern edge of south-east France. We’ve worked on three books on rosé: Rosé Understanding the Pink Wine Revolution (2018), Elizabeth Gabay’s Buyers Guide to the Rosés of Southern France (2021 e-guide) and, most recently Rosés of Southern France (2022).
