Rosé wine values tasted in 2006

 

The selected French bottlings have given me much pleasure for the price. I have purchased them again for personal consumption. Featured values include five wines from Provence and five organic wines.

This page misses the tasting notes of the wines that are not imported into the USA. The complete page of french wine values can be found here.
 

The below wines were tasted in France, in 2006 (between April and December).
 

o Vin de pays du Var - Patrick Mourlan - Bastide des Oliviers - (rosé)
2005 - USD 13 - not much manipulated (much less so than Pique-Roque) - not much scent - round, strawberry, dense, much alcohol, fresh
06270 Villeneuve Loubet, Cave du Loup, M.Populin, tél : 04 93 20 68 18
 

o Vin-de-pays-des-maures - Pique-Roque
2005 - USD 13 - out of the present pick of blush wines, Pique-Roque is the only one that is not organic, it is our standard representative of the Provence rosé wines, complete with flower and apparent winemaking - the nose is dominated by flower - the wide mouth presence shows neither fat nor the fudge note of some Provence rosés, instead it shows flower and freshness
06140 Tourrettes-sur-Loup, 8 r Bourgade, Cave de Tourrettes, M.Orta, tél : 04 93 24 10 12
 

o Coteaux-varois - Patrick Mourlan - Bastide des Oliviers - (rosé)
2005 - USD 17 - very pure - the palate shows nectarine, density, tiny gas beads, and freshness
06140 Tourrettes-sur-Loup, 8 r Bourgade, Cave de Tourrettes, M.Orta, tél : 04 93 24 10 12
