La Bernarde 2024 Cotes de Provence "Les Hauts de Luc" Rosé

The La Bernarde "Les Hauts du Luc" is a very dry and refreshing blend of Cinsault, Grenache, Mourvedre, Rolle (Vermentino) and Syrah. Certified organic and fermented with wild yeasts, the grapes are grown in a high-altitude vineyard - while clay-limestone soils dominate the higher reaches, the lower reaches of the estate are mainly composed of schist, which contributes to the mineral expression of the blends. The Cinsault is very present in the subtle aromas of peach and raspberry with citrus, spice and floral hints. The palate is light, with a silky texture and firm mineral flavors underlying the fresh red fruit, peach and citrus flavors. This is a lovely and versatile wine that will be a delicious aperitif or accompaniment to fish, white meats and lighter grilled foods. At $19.99 this a good value - pick-up a few cases for your spring/summer sipping!
