Domaine les Fouques Côtes de Provence La Londe

Another odd bottle. This vintage was great least year. Didn’t do well in the bottle though for a year. Strange.

Ravaged by bacteria, or brett - just a bad bottle. Pity, this is such a lovely wine.

Needs a half hour of air, but this is beautiful - spicy, textured, balanced, lovely fruit, complex, just delicious and expressive, completely clean and pure, drinks better than anything else out there except for the very best of the Bandols.

Unsurprisingly delicious and especially well-balanced this year.

Took out of the fridge 30 minutes in advance, then popped and poured. Rich peach aroma. Begins with melon and peach flavors which evolve into into tart maraschino cherry in the middle, with a spicy melon finish. IMO, best served at just below cellar temp. One of my favorite roses year in and year out, this year is no exception. Great value.

Great rose' - peach and lemon peel with a faint bitterness on the finish, develops well over time as more raspberry and floral scents emerge. Just the thing for dinner on a summer night
