Ample, textural and flavorful. Flinty oak, apricots, minerals, nectarines and subtle grapefruit on the nose. It’s full-bodied for rosé, mingling spices and herbs at the center palate. Focused, tactile and well-built. Long and flavorful finish. Drink or hold.James Suckling | 95 JSThere’s a fresh and floral-accented immediacy on the nose of the 2022, followed by flattering vanilla and hazelnut from the oak and an attractive whisp of resiny pine forest. The palate is flowing, rounded and textural with a persistence underscored by fine-boned structural grip. While it’s a match for the 2023 in elegantly contained power, it doesn’t have quite the same exceptional focus and drive. Interestingly, for Provence rosé overall, 2022 was the better vintage.Wine Enthusiast | 95 WEThere’s a fresh and floral-accented immediacy on the nose of the 2022, followed by flattering vanilla and hazelnut from the oak and an attractive whisp of resiny pine forest.

The 2023 Rosé Mirabeau en Provence Pure makes a lasting impression as enriching notes of confectionery spice and sweet smoke complement freshly sliced nectarines. It’s silken in form, with stimulating acidity and citrus tones that add lovely depth as ripe pit fruits swirl throughout. The 2023 tapers off with admirable length, spicy and energetic, leaving a mineral tinge that adds a lovely punctuation. - Eric GuidoVinous Media | 90 VM

This wine showcases enticing aromas of ripe stone fruit, summer berries and delicate rose. On the palate, vibrant notes of raspberry and ripe cherry bring warm, sun-kissed flavors, complemented by balanced acidity and a satisfying weight.

The 2024 Rosé Château Romassan is a wine of supreme textural finesse and elegance. Beautifully weighted, broad and nearly opulent, yet in no way heavy, the 2024 drapes a blanket of floral-inflected orchard fruit across the tongue, coating every corner of the mouth through the long, focused finish. Rosewater, orange confit and a tickle of sea salt last well after the wine has exited the stage. This is such an intentional Rosé made with the highest level of craftsmanship. I wouldn’t hesitate to age this Bandol for a few years to allow even further complexity to develop. Bravo.Vinous Media | 94 VMIntense aromas of peach and the ocean, this rosé is bright with fruit but also rich with minerality. The palate is immediately spicy and robust. Tons of minerality with great texture and a lingering heat. Pair with Bouillabaisse.Wine Enthusiast | 94 WEA sophisticated, polished Bandol, with a seductive, juicy palate that’s all rounded off. Hums with vivid energy behind its notes of melon and garrigue. Cool stone minerality lines the finish, which is focused and mouthwateringly long. Delicious and just beginning to unfurl. Mourvèdre, Cinsault and Grenache. Drink now through 2029. 2,806 cases imported.Wine Spectator | 92 WS

Pale petal-pink in the glass, with that classic Provencal glow that practically begs for sunshine. The nose opens with fresh white peach, wild strawberry and a whisper of Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, it’s crisp and bone-dry, with bright citrus, a hint of ripe melon and a clean, mineral finish that lingers just long enough to make you reach for another sip. Elegant, refreshing and effortlessly food-friendly. Rosé fans have a sixth sense for the bottles worth restocking, and this one has quietly become a "buy by the case for summer" pick.Sokolin Tasting Panel | 94+ SP

Pale, luminous salmon with a bright copper shimmer. Expressive and refined on the nose, with mineral-kissed stone fruit, fresh citrus and a delicate floral lift - think white peach, pink grapefruit and a suave hint of jasmine. Silky and expansive on the palate, offering juicy layers of ripe strawberry, tangerine and wild herb, with a deeper suggestion of honeyed melon. Ripe yet beautifully balanced, with the mineral and floral threads carrying gracefully through to an impressively long, focused, and seamless finish. Year in, year out, the most popular rosé we sell at Sokolin - and vintages like this make it easy to see why. Sokolin Tasting Panel | 94+ SP
