Les Béates Les Béatines (Rosé)

More from this producer: Les Béates

  • 2025

    Very pale shell. Delicate and floral on the nose with hints of inky blueness, pêche de vigne, stone fruit and lees. Lovely and silky on the palate, with rounded, softened, generously ripe strawberries lifted by a lacy texture and remarkably elegant acidity. A hint of black schistous minerality flows into a finish that is generously spiced with hints of garrigue. Elegant, crowd-pleasing, and very well-made.
