Mas de Libian Vin de France Buve Z’en Rosé 2024 (6 Bottles) Cotes du Rhone, France

Biodynamic. This disarmingly pretty rosé is drawn from the estate’s younger vines—spread across a selection of Mas de Libian’s rocky terroirs—and comprises one-third each of Grenache, Counoise and Syrah. Using the provençal model (although we should note these grapes have bags more flavour than those used to make 99% of Côtes de Provence), all three varieties were slowly pressed into tank after a short maceration and then fermented with wild yeasts.

In our opinion, it is simply one of southern France’s most appealing, mineral and delicious rosés. The new release is savoury and mouth-wateringly crisp, with the enticing scents of fresh berries and wild herbs and a silky, high-definition palate flecked by flavours of Burlat cherry and chalky tang. Get on the saucisson.
