Winery Review: "Crisp and inviting, Fleur de Mer Rosé captures the serene artistry of Provence’s idyllic, sun-washed coastal shores and fragrant, floral hillsides. At first swirl, the wine opens with generous aromas of white peach, citrus, wildflowers and herbs. A classic Provençal style with flavors of cherry, fresh raspberry and honeycrisp apple, notes are complemented by layers of minerality and hints of sea spray. Delicate and softly textured on the mid-palate before a refreshingly crisp, memorable finish." (Found on Fleur de Mer website).
Wine Folly: pg. 219 on Côtes de Provence Rosé in general. I got a bit of the strawberry as described by the book, but nothing of the celery and clay pot that they described. pg. 117 on Grenache wine, got a bit of the orangey flavor of this. pg. 90 on Carignan grapes, got a bit of the raspberry and definitely some sweetness from here.
My Review: I thought this wine was very good, light, and refreshing. I tasted this chilled and very much enjoyed it that way. I did get a bit of the watermelon described, but not much, and got a lot of the citrusy flavors. Very crisp as described and smooth on the palate.
I tasted this wine without food.
