Roche Bellemont Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence Rosé 2023

The stellar rise of Provence rosé is phenomenal. They are no longer purely enjoyed by the film star glitterati in situ – we love to sip the pale-hued wines all year round, whenever the moment takes us. Roche Bellemont is one to savour. It’s handcrafted using the pick of the vintage – Grenache and Syrah, plus a little Mourvèdre and Vermentino. These are from the oldest vineyards, planted on the finest soils, where vines must dig deep for nutrition. You’ll find this pink’s subtle berry fruit is complemented by creamy savoury hints, a lift of lavender and herbs with underlying brisk minerality. Such elegance and finesse, as you’d expect from a ‘tête de cuvée’ from this sun-blessed area, filled with beautiful people! Superb with seafood pilaf.
