Château de Roquefort Corail Côtes de Provence Rosé 2022
92 POINTS: Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
"A mix of Grenache Noir, Syrah, Cinsault, Carignan, Mourvèdre, Clairette and Vermentino, all sourced from vines planted on clay-limestone and stony soils, the 2022 Cotes de Provence Rose Corail displays a lively, very fresh bouquet with aromas of peach, red berries, lemon and spring floral. Tense and perfectly balanced with racy acids and a moderately weighted structure, it’s fresh, juicy and supple, with gorgeous notes of grapefruit and red berries on the finish. I have a weakness for this small estate in Roquefort La Bédule." - Wine Advocate
This vintage’s Corail is a judicious blend of Grenache Noir, Syrah, Cinsault, Carignan, Mourvèdre, Clairette, Vermentino. Clear pink bouquet, a finely spiced citrus nose, slightly lemony, floral. The palate is taut, white fruits, citrus, hint of fennel … a Rosé for every occasion and any meal!
Quality is consistent. Deeper bouquet and flavor than most Cali Zins. The Earth tones come thru beautifully about two years from Vintage. Wonderful
Red to contemplate on its own or with good food.
chianti at a good price- good value for everyday drinking
Not quite in same class as recent chianti from Wine Direct released earlier this year-but also half the price. Excellent value for a red wine: you don't have to worry about finding a superior food to match at this excellent price.
Hard pushed to find a NZ red at this price/quality ratio!
