Another excellent, well priced Rose from Les Jamelles. From the Langedouc region along the Mediterranean coast of the South of France the “Clair de Rose” is part of the winery's "Classique" range and sits above the Petite we have featured previously.
Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"“Clair de Rose” embodies the quintessence of a Les Jamelles rosé, though, exceptionally, it is a blend of two grape varieties, Grenache and Cinsault. The result is a subtle wine that is well balanced: elegant and delectable, floral and fruity, fresh and round on the palate. Doted with lovely pale pink colour, Les Jamelles Clair de Rose is perfectly balanced, fresh, lively and round, with floral and fruity aromas of raspberry and grenadine."
5 Stars & 94/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, October 2023 (2022 Vintage)
"Pale pink in colour, it’s delicately aromatic on the nose with Gala apple, citrus peel and strawberry nuances, followed by a finely textured palate that’s pristine and juicy. Elegant and poised with a fabulous long refreshing finish. At its best: now to 2025."
90/100 Cameron Douglas MS, July 2023 (2022 Vintage)
"Bright, super fresh and fruity bouquet laced with aromas of fresh red and white strawberry, a whisper of saffron and spice and wet stone mineral quality. Flavours on the palate mirror the bouquet with a seamless mix of fresh berries and minerality, crisp acid line and refreshing mouthfeel. Lots to like with this example, straightforward, balanced and well made. Ideal as an aperitif or wish sashimi. Best drinking from 2023 through end of summer 2025."
