2018 Southern France

Having taken over from her father, Claude Jourdan now runs this property, an impressive estate that consists of over 100 hectares near the coastal town of Sète, where the vines benefit from cooling ocean breezes.

Golden in colour, ripe peach aromas are combined with apricot, honey and camomile. White flowers and vibrant citrus notes are joined by juicy and refreshing acidity, as well as an attractive phenolic grip on the palate. Drink now to 2020.

A blend of Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah aged briefly in concrete, the 2018 Cotes de Provence Rose l'Esprit de Provence features appealing notes of crushed stone, red berries and ripe citrus on the nose. It's light to medium-bodied but silky in texture, with attractive hints of dried spices on the finish.

Miraval has become the go-to rosé for many and I don’t see that changing with the great 2018 vintage. Very pale in colour, this is fresh, vibrant but perfectly polite, with notes of peach, delicate wild strawberry and a floral lift too. The finish is long and balanced, with a touch of texture meaning that it works perfectly with food, yet doesn’t dominate the palate without. I know what I’ll be drinking this spring and summer…

This classic Provence rosé is delicious. Wild strawberry, pink grapefruit, redcurrant and verbena notes are balanced by refreshing acidity and subtle floral and herbal aromas. Ready to drink now.
