    Domaine Saint-Jean de Villecroze La Chapelle (Rosé) 2023 - Highly RecommendedTasted by Elizabeth Gabay MW & Ben Bernheim

    From the Haute-Maure lieu-dit of Flayosc. Golden salmon-coral. Creamy, nutty aromas with tropical flowers, bright herbal notes, soft peach, sweet oak and a hint of smoky toffee. Intense, opulent and unapologetic on the palate, delivering remarkable freshness and electric orange acidity. Vibrant and mineral right to the finish, enveloped by rich, soothing creaminess and well-integrated, dry oak tannins that still need time to mellow. Choosing a path inspired by Garrus and fine white wines rather than Tavel or Rioja; a refined, classy example of the creamy complexity achieved by malolactic fermentation in top Provence rosé.
