    Dark, opaque with purple edges. Dark, intense, forest floor, mossy and mysterious on the nose. Some hedgerow fruit, plums and crab apples. Blue black velvet fruit. On the palate softly rich and supple. Has a ruggedness to it despite a silky smooth-talking structure. Silky tannins, quite a lot of ripe, intense, slightly haughty tannins behind the supple fruit, and some ripe alcohol. Mouth-coating, full-bodied, just enough acidity. Smooth-talking, refined and polished, but lacking in generosity and complexity.

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).
