Château La Mascaronne Cuvée Guy da Nine Rosé from the Côtes de Provence: a beautiful pomelo rosé with slightly more depth than a traditional pale Provence rosé, complex aromas of cherries and raspberries turning into buttery vanilla, a round and fruity palate with elegant toast from oak ageing and a long, finessed finish reminiscent of sweet almonds.
Tasting Notes
A beautiful pomelo rosé, slightly darker than traditional Provence rosés but with beautiful and lively intensity. Complex aromas of red fruit, mainly cherries and raspberries, that turn into buttery notes of vanilla on the nose. A round, fruity palate with elegant touches of toast from the oak ageing. A long finish with finesse reminiscent of sweet almonds. The premium Cuvée from Château La Mascaronne, a more complex, oak-influenced expression of the estate's rosé style.
