Bottle of Le Roi Soleil Cotes de Provence Rose 2024 for review.

Le Roi Soleil Cotes de Provence Rose 2024
$70, 13% alcohol, screwcap, Provence/France.

Some rosés have a light, delicate touch and some have a presence, and make an impression. This rosé is one of the latter. It’s light in colour – it has a gorgeous, light, copper-crimson hue – but when you take a sip, you really know that you have something special on your hands. Orange blossom, crushed rocks, rose petals, rounds of spice and pure, dry, strawberry characters. Sparks fly. Worlds collide. This is a fabulous rosé. 95 points.
