“I cannot believe a Provence rosé this good is this cheap!! Very Good Value.” - Tamlyn Currin, JancisRobinson.com


Delight in the deliciousness of our new rosé discovery, although they have been making wine here for 5 generations (since 1876), so it’s a bit like Christopher Columbus ‘discovering’ America. This is Chateau La Lieue’s top cuvée, but thanks to some fine negotiating by Lucia, which would have won her a ‘World Series of Poker’ bracelet, we are able to offer it at the same price as their entry level rosé.

It shows pink grapefruit, red cherry, strawberry and just a hint of chalky grip thanks to the calcareous soils on which the vines grow. The succulent core of fruit provides a little more texture than you will find in their entry-level rosé, so this would hold up well to a Moroccan tagine or a Lebanese kibbeh, the sort of flavours that would overwhelm a more timid wine. Winemaker, Julian vial, calls it a “gastronomic table wine”. 12.5% alc. A blend of Mourvèdre and Syrah, harvested at night to retain freshness. Drink now-2029. Certified organic.


Press review:

Tamlyn Currin for Jancis Robinson.com: “Unexpectedly robust in flavour for a pale rosé from Provence. Rose hips, kumquats and lemon-soaked strawberries tumbled in with teeny, platinum-shiny marbles of minerality. So much fruit yet without a smidgeon of sweetness. Delicate pickled galangal spiciness. Proper, grown-up rosé complete with body and soul. I cannot believe a Provence rosé this good is this cheap!! Very Good Value. Drink now-2028.” 17.5 points
