REVIEWSVintage 2012 - FRANCE - MONDE
Ce vin superbe séduit à tous les niveaux. Tout d'abord par sa belle robe litchi aux nuances de pomélo très brillantes. Ensuite, par son nez, intense, dense et très vivant, exhalant dans un premier temps des notes de pivoines, de rose et de lilas, qui évoluent au fur et à mesure de son aération, vers de la framboise et de la groseille.
Enfin, par sa bouche, où les notes gourmandes et fruitées du nez s'harmonisent merveilleusement aux notes florales et de petits fruits rouges tels que le cassis ou la groseille. Un grand rosé de gastronomie, qui saura se marier à un bon nombre de plats à base de poissons, de salades ou de fruits de mer.

Light, bright orange-pink. Spicy citrus pith and red berries on the nose, with notes of herbs and white pepper adding complexity. Firm, focused and racy, offering tart cranberry and orange flavors and a late note of tarragon. Refreshingly dry on the finish.

caramel and spice flavored that is full bodied and rich. With its weight, this red plul and ripe strawberry flavored wine is for good, dry and finishing with just the right amount of acidity.
Wine Enthusiast, 2013-06-01 CANADA (QUEBEC)
millésime 2012: Appartenant à la famille Quiot, le domaine a une vue imprenable sur la Sainte-Victoire,
montagne mythique de la Provence qui inspiré de nombreux peintres, dont Cézanne. Couleur melon d'eau. Nez similaire au La Lieue avec un caractère plus animal. Croquant avec un volume plus aérien.
Finale montrant du caractère par ses notes d'amandes amères et de pomme. Une belle réussite!
