«The very pale color is reminiscent of Provence rosé, but this is so light and playful, dancing over your palate. Excellent freshness without being at all tart. I love the delicate red berry aromas and touch of nectarine. From vineyards under conversion to organic cultivation. Drink now.»

«The pretty red berry and floral nose pulls you into this light and elegant rosé that has a delightful balance of fruit and lively acidity. Just a hint of gentle tannin at the finish anchors the fruit very neatly. Drink now.»

«This is one of the better Beaujolais rosé wines and has a fresh, watermelon and light strawberry nose and a contained, focused palate that makes for attractive, fresh drinking with plenty of pink-fruit flavors. Drink now.»
