The 2023 Rosé of Pinot Meunier dazzles in the glass with a luminous, pale coral hue that captures the essence of a serene dusk. Aromatically, the wine is a celebration of spring, bursting with fragrant notes of wild strawberry, pink grapefruit, and a hint of peach blossom. Delicate nuances of wet stone and a fresh herbal quality reminiscent of tarragon and mint add layers of complexity, inviting the first sip.

Upon tasting, the wine delivers on its aromatic promises with a lively and nuanced palate. The core of the wine is defined by a crisp acidity that enlivens the succulent flavors of red currant, pomegranate, and a touch of blood orange. The cooler growing season has imparted a pronounced minerality to the wine, presenting a flinty edge that seamlessly blends with the fruit’s natural sweetness.

The finish is clean and refreshing, with a subtle saline quality that echoes the wine’s mineral backbone, leaving a lingering taste of citrus zest and a desire for another sip. This Rosé’s elegance and balance make it a versatile companion to various culinary delights, from light summer salads and seafood dishes to more robust flavors like grilled chicken or pork.
