2015 Pigoudet Premiere Rose Wine is Refreshment for Your Summer Day

Today's Rosé wine is the 2015 Chateau Pigoudet Premiere Rosé.

This wine is blend of  Grenache, Cinsault, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah with a majority of Grenache. Château Pigoudet is located in the north of the Côteaux d’Aix-en-Provence wine appellation and is approximately 1,200 feet above sea level.

Refreshment for your summer day.

With its pale pink color, you feel refreshed already. There is this floralness of white peach and ripe red berries with some herbs. On the palate there is some biting acidity with some citrus and red fruits. On the finish there is a little sage with the ripe red fruit along with its refreshing acidity.

Ah, another summer day has passed and another empty Provence rose bottle.

Espirit Gassier Rosé

Here is a wine that is as elegant as its label. The label is designed by a local artist and is silk screened onto the bottle.

Chãteau Gassier is located approximately 15 miles form Aix en Provence in the heart of the Arc Valley of the Côtes de Provence appellation. The grapes for Esprit Gassier are sourced from neighboring parcels surrounding the estate vineyards of Château Gassier.

2015 Espirit Gassier Rosé

The wine is a blend of 35% Grenache, 30% Cinsault, 25% Syrah, and 10% Rolle.The very pale salmon color makes a pretty glass of rose and compliments the labels design. There are aromas white peaches, cherries and salted minty herbs. On the palate the wine has a medium body and is nicely rounded giving it elegance. On the finish you can feel some of its biting acidity with its delicate herbal ,strawberry and cherry notes. Delicious.

This is summer in Provence in a bottle.

It drinks like a warm summer sunny day with some bubblegum sweetness and a  side of herbs.

This mainly Cinsault blend gives you fresh rose with body to it and is a pleasure by the glass or with your summer fare.
