Les Fouques 2024 Cotes de Provence La Londe "L'Estelle" Rosé

Domaine Les Fouques has been certified Biodynamic (Demeter) for 30 years, and also raises sheep, ducks, chickens and guinea-hens on their old-fashioned mixed-use farm. The La Londe "Cuvee L'Estelle" is their best rosé from old vines of Grenache 5%, Cinsault 53% Syrah 39% and Rolle 3%. Unlike the majority of Provençal rosés, it is made naturally with wild yeasts, giving a more subtle expression of fruit and terroir. The 2024 is a subtle and beautiful wine showing a very pale salmon/pink color and aromas of red fruits, peach skin, orange peel, rose, spice, garrigue and raspberry, very pretty and floral. The palate is elegant and silky with stone and saline mineral flavors beneath very subtle red and yellow fruits, exotic fruits and citrus with a long saline finish. Serve with grilled fish, pork and chicken, salade Niçoise, or just sip by itself. -DL
