They’re back into rosé wines. The wines from the south of France seem to be the most popular. Of course, they have a long tradition there. Julien impressively demonstrates that in Gigondas, he—Julien—can produce a fantastic rosé. It’s a pure Cinsault, which he doesn’t destem and whose juice is left on the skins for about four hours. The wine then ferments at low temperatures to accentuate those magnificent, clear, fresh fruit aromas that the Cinsault has imparted to it. I’d say this shade is salmon pink. The bouquet – that’s where I know my stuff – is characterised by absolutely delightful aromas of red fruits, with strawberries and raspberries dominating. Dense yet light and wonderfully lively, the wine moves across the palate and finishes with a lovely salty, or rather mineral, note. This rosé is a must for all of you who want to bring a touch of Provence to your dining table at home and immerse yourselves in a southern way of life. Magnificent!
