Introduction:
The 2024 Domaine de l’Olivette Côtes de Provence Rosé is a graceful and evocative French rosé—bright yet soft, floral yet restrained—embodying the living essence of Provence’s sun-drenched terroirs. It strikes a harmonious balance between fresh fruit, gentle florals, and subtle salinity, making it both sophisticated and effortlessly charming.

Terroir:
Cultivated in the gentle hills of Provence, the vineyards benefit from a Mediterranean climate: warm sunshine tempered by sea breezes and guided by the cooling breath of the Mistral. The mix of limestone and clay soils lends structure and a soft mineral nuance, enhancing both the wine’s elegance and its sense of place.

Appearance:
Delicately pale pink with shimmering salmon hues, crystal clear and radiant in the glass.

Nose:
Subtle and inviting, with aromas of fresh strawberry, white peach, and delicate rose petal. A salty breeze, a hint of Provençal herbes, and an elegant floral whisper add depth and complexity.

Palate:
Light-bodied and refined, offering ripe melon, orchard fruits, and a touch of citrus. The mouthfeel is silky, buoyed by refreshing acidity and a whisper of minerality that brings brightness and tension to the finish.

Finish:
Soft and lingering—red fruit, citrus zest, and a faint saline streak make for a clean, graceful, and mouthwatering closure.

Overall Impression:
A beautifully balanced rosé that captures the elegance and subtlety of Provence. Polished yet approachable, it’s ideal as an aperitif or paired with light fare—think grilled fish, Niçoise salads, or gentle garden vegetables.
