Mattinson review of Lumiere Provence Rosé 2024.

Lumiere Provence Rosé 2024
$40, 13%, screwcap, Provence.

This is exactly what you want from a rosé. It’s pale in colour but if still offers fruit flavours and scents, mostly in the strawberry field but with red cherry in the mix too. It’s dry. It has texture, but it’s a spicy, stony kind of texture rather than anything flaccid. It feels refreshing throughout, and perfumed, and it then feels both juicy and neat through the finish. The aftertaste then brings more strawberries. In short, I’d have no hesitation in recommending this. It’s Exhibit A of how a dry rosé should be. 94 points.

When you pick up a wine book and see thousands of top-scoring wines, it’s hard to know which wine to choose. Mattinson guides you through this maze, giving you an honest view of the best Australian wines, the best wine stories, the best wine producers, the best value wines and simply, the best tasting wines. Importantly, Mattinson will tell you about the top-rated wines and also about the underrated wines. In short, Mattinson knows Australian wines inside and out.

Mattinson has been a photo-journalist since 1987. For the past 25 years he’s been a voice that you can trust when you’re looking for the best wines. He’s the only Australian to have won the Australian Wine Communicator of the Year Award more than once. He’s a past winner of a Louis Roederer International Wine Media Award, and is the author of the award-winning book The Wine Hunter. He’s not afraid to put a score beside a wine. But what he’d rather do, is tell you the wine’s story.
