Coeur Clémentine Côtes de Provence Rosé 2024 (6 Bottles) Provence, France

This house favourite is a blend of Grenache, Cinsault and the rare Tibouren grape (an indigenous variety said to bring aromas of garrigue, the herby scrub of southern France). There’s also a splash of Syrah. The grapes are sourced from organically managed chalky/clay parcels in the heart of the Côtes de Provence, around the picture-perfect commune of Puget-Ville. Jean-Christophe Audéoud looks after the winemaking, utilising the traditional direct-press method, followed by maturation in both concrete and stainless steel.

This current release is a racy, crunchy and flawlessly balanced rosé, laden with citrus pith, redcurrant and rose petal aromas and flavours. The texture is fine and delicate with a white wine-like finesse from whoa to go. It finishes completely dry, with a twist of white pepper and some gentle grip. A super consistent wine with genuine depth and interest.
