Instantly brilliant in the glass, the 2022 Cotes de Provence Rose Porquerolles is an attractive wine evoking aromas of iodine, spices, menthol, red berries, lime and crushed stone. Precise and crystalline with pristine balance, it’s tense, vibrant and energetic with notes of iodine on the salty finish. A perfect expression of schists soils. Bravo! This is a blend of Grenache, Vermentino, Mourvèdre, Cinsault and Tibouren.

Domaine de L'Ile is the newest property in the portfolio of wine estates owned by Chanel, a portfolio that also includes Châteaux Rauzan-Ségla, Canon and Berliquet in Bordeaux, and St Supery in Napa Valley. The vineyards are on Porquerolles, the largest of the three Iles d'Hyères, off the coast of Provence, and there's a marked maritime influence to the wines, which had their first vintage in 2019. This rosé is a blend of Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah, Mourvèdre and 5% Tibouren, a grape which gives purity and primary cherry fruit flavours – in future vintages the proportion of Tibouren will increase, with Syrah decreasing. The 2022 vintage was a fairly hot vintage, and this rosé is deeper in colour than some other Provence rosés. But it's as fresh as a daisy, with gorgeous cherry, redcurrant and watermelon fruit flavours, some warm white peach notes and a faint hint of menthol. Supple and medium bodied with a hint of salinity on the finish, this would be delicious served with shellfish, or alone.

The 2022 Côtes De Provence Porquerolles Rosé is a terrific rosé that's made in a richer, textured style compared to many Côtes de Provence rosés. Sporting a lighter salmon color as well as terrific aromatics of orange blossom, wild strawberries, and sappy flowers, it hits the palate with medium-bodied richness, a layered, seamless mouthfeel, ample fruit, good acidity, and a lengthy, dry finish. It's beautifully done and a classy rosé that will shine on the dinner table or on its own on a hot summer day.

A fresh and juicy rosé with aromas of grapefruit, peaches and mild spices. Medium body with crisp acidity. Lemony and succulent with a salivating finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink now.
