2024 La Bernarde Rosé Cotes de Provence Les Hauts Du Luc

There are a lot of regions producing Rosé in France. Sticking out among them is Provence. This beautiful region in the South of France produces what many people consider to be the standard for Rosé in the world.

La Bernarde is an historic property in the Côtes de Provence appellation. The winery and their vineyards sit on a rocky limestone hillside at about 300 meters above sea level, making it one of the highest properties in the entire region. The cooler micro-climate of this area – it snows most winters! – allows them to make the kind of rosé we dream of, yet so rarely find; crisp, mineral-laced, bright-fruited, and with the complexity to drink on its own or with a variety of light or grilled fare. Cinsault, Grenache, Mourvedre, Rolle (Vermentino) and Syrah all combine to layer delicate aromas of citrus blossom, stone fruit, spice and mineral. The palate is clean and crisp with the subtle fruit, spice and mineral combining for a seamless, refreshing finish.
