Introduction
The 2023 Maison Gutowski M G Grande Cuvée Côtes de Provence Rosé is an elegant, refined rosé that embodies the essence of Provence. Crafted from select vineyards in the sun-drenched Provence region, this rosé is a sophisticated wine with bright acidity, layered fruit, and a subtle minerality. Maison Gutowski combines tradition with modern winemaking to create a rosé that is vibrant, aromatic, and ideal for warm-weather enjoyment.

Terrior
Located in Provence, the vineyards benefit from a Mediterranean climate, with plenty of sunshine and cooling breezes from the sea. The limestone and clay soils lend a mineral quality to the wine, while the warm days and cool nights allow for a slow ripening process, preserving freshness and enhancing aromatic complexity. This terroir-driven balance results in a rosé with depth, vibrancy, and a signature Provençal character.

Appearance
Pale salmon-pink with a hint of copper, bright and clear, reflective of the classic Provence rosé style.

Nose
The nose is aromatic and layered, with notes of wild strawberry, peach, and red currant, complemented by hints of grapefruit zest, rose petals, and a touch of Mediterranean herbs like thyme and rosemary. These delicate floral and herbal notes add depth and a regional character to the bouquet.

Palate
On the palate, this Côtes de Provence rosé is light-bodied with crisp acidity. Flavors of ripe red berries, citrus, and white peach are balanced by a refreshing mineral backbone. The wine’s dry, clean profile and silky texture create an elegant structure that is both lively and smooth.

Finish
The finish is crisp, long, and mineral-driven, with lingering notes of citrus and red berries, leaving a refreshing, mouthwatering impression.

Overall Impression
The 2023 Maison Gutowski M G Grande Cuvée Côtes de Provence Rosé is a beautifully balanced and terroir-driven wine that embodies the elegance of Provence.
