Coeur Clémentine Cote de Provence Rosé 2021

Description

“From one of the prettiest parts of France comes this delicious, dry rosé …expect a lush and juicy wine crammed with smells of wild raspberries, red currents, and dried woody herbs… just the thing for crusty baguettes, good cheese, and even better company!”  Matt Skinner

Coeur Clémentine is the brainchild of a group of rosé fanatics  – headed up by Steve Veytia, Clémentine produce only a single still wine (this rosé), sourced from several family growers of organically-managed, chalky-clay parcels in the heart of the Côtes de Provence, around the achingly pretty commune of Puget-Ville in what is called the ‘The Golden Triangle’, an area of the Côtes de Provence that is said to have the best vineyards in the region. Jean Christophe Audéoud looks after the winemaking which uses the traditional direct press method and maturation in both concrete and stainless steel. The wine is made at the 93 year-old Cellier Saint Sidoine in Puget-Ville (roughly half way between Bandol and Saint Tropez).

This favourite is a blend of Grenache, Cinsault and the rare Tibouren grape (an indigenous variety said to bring aromas of garrigue, the herby scrub of southern France). There’s also a splash of Syrah.

This current release is a racy, crunchy and flawlessly balanced rosé, laden with citrus pith, redcurrant and rose petal aromas and flavours. The texture is fine and delicate with a white wine-like finesse from whoa to go. It finishes completely dry, with a twist of white pepper and some gentle grip. A super consistent wine with genuine depth and interest.13% alc.
