Pierre et Papa Rose 2019 IGP

Peyrassol Reserve Des Templiers Cotes de Provence 2019 is a dry rosé has a spicy warmth to the fruit, lifted by refreshing acidity and a peachy edge. Notes of strawberry predominate, with background notes of white pepper. Equally at home with charcuterie and other cold meats, olives, soft cheese, or fish dishes.

Chateau de Brigue Rose 2017. Modern in packaging and clean in style, this is the estate’s excellent entry wine.  It’s crisp with red currant and strawberry fruit, a gentle saline tang, easy to drink as ever, and builds complexity once in the mouth.  A little oiliness is present, with some herbal/bell pepper notes adding further interest.  Certainly refreshing, though fans out on the palate with a surprisingly detailed finish of brine, great complexity for its level.
