A refined and structured Provence rosé with greater depth and texture than a typical fresh-style rosé. The 2024 shows delicate red berries and Provençal herbs on the nose, followed by peach and pomegranate on the palate. Partial fermentation in demi-muids adds subtle oak, weight and a creamy lees-derived texture, while medium-plus acidity keeps the wine fresh and balanced through a long, elegant finish.
