Vin Rosé

Recently, I had two to start up the summer which has yet been rather cool one. The first was from legendary AOC Tavel which I would classify near Provence or is the Provençal style is close to Tavel: Low acidity, high alcohol level with intense fruit. The other rosé style is more about the crispness that is gotten from the high acidity and not trying to stuff too much fruit in to the wine. Maybe it has something to do with the cepages as well.

Chateau de Ségriès from Tavel can attract people. A very modern touch. It has an intense pink color with strawberry aromas as intense as the color. Well made wine. A bit lazy I think. I'm getting tired of these modern fruity wines but still I rather liked it.

Jean-Marc Burgaud's Rosez! was a post modern one. Elegant light color just a dash of reddish. The intensity of the fruit is light with more about minerality and crispness than fruit. Complexity was revealed gradually. Which, combined with the lightness and high evaporation made you want to take another sip before it would disappear! A beauty.
