Wine Spectator 90
"This elegant wine displays a sense of power behind the delicate flavors of dried cherry, licorice, cream and spice. Finishes with notes of dried mango and hints of sage honey. Drink now. 1,5000 cases imported."~KM
International Wine Cellar 90
"Light peach skin color. Intensely perfumed aromas of redcurrant, strawberry, blood orange and rhubarb, with suave floral and mineral overtones. This lively, precise wine offers tangy citrus and red berry flavors and a silky texture. Finishes tangy and precise, with very good energy and lingering florality. In the context of this estate's high-end offerings, which are all excellent, this is a steal."
"Pale salmon in color, crisp with fresh delicate strawberry fruit and a long finish. The new benchmark for Provence rose. 73% Grenache, 9% Cinsault, 8.5% Syrah, 5.5% Mourvedre, 4%" ~ Winery Notes

"This showcases D’Esclans’s style: nuanced and ripe, with a finely tuned tension between berry fruit and flower blossom and acidity. Don’t let the pale salmon color fool you: It packs a sneaky flavor punch."
Jancis Robinson 16.5/20
"The all stainless steel cuvee from this rose specialist. Lighter, fresher, tarter than the others on the palate but there is still some delicacy and herbiness on the nose. The blend is said to include all of Grenache, Cinsault, Vermentino, Tibouren, Syrah, Carignan and Mourvedre. This is much more elegant than the first vintages of this bottling. It's not cheap but it is very well made. Just slightly astringent on the finish - lower proportion of free run juice presumably."
