Domaine Saint Andrieu 2006
"Provence makes some of the world's best rosés" according to the Daily Express - and judging by this luscious example, we couldn't agree more!
Perched in the mountains of Northern Provence, Domaine Saint Andrieu benefits from some of the highest vineyards in the region. Endless sunshine and cool, crisp mountain breezes ripen grapes to perfection whilst preserving freshness and balance.
The property is owned by the famed Bignon Cordier family, who also run Chateau Talbot in St Julien. The Domaine was in a state of neglect until the Bignon Cordier family fell in love with it in 2003, and invested millions in the renaissance of this great estate.
And judging by the host of awards the estate's picked up since then, it was undeniably a sound investment! This immaculate rosé was given 91 points by Wine and Spirit Magazine, who described it as having "pretty rose petal and wild strawberry notes edged with brightening citrus" Wine Spectator loved it too - "Steely and well-structured, with a blush of dried cherry and berry flavours, followed by hints of orange peel on the crisp finish." Try it yourself!
