Winery notes (2023 Vintage)
"For 25 years, I have been exploring the Pays d’Oc, with the absolute certainty that the region has all it takes to produce the best rosés In France. With that ambition at heart, I created Reflets Secrets : a signature rosé with a special touch, which is mourvèdre. All of the skills and know-how at les Jamelles, in terms of terroir identification, wine-making and blending, have contributed to the creation of this exceptional rosé.
To create Reflets Secrets the choice fell on 3 specific terroirs of Pays d’oc : the Béziers coastline which, under the influence of the Mediterranean climate, brings roundness and richness to the wines ; the sandy soils of the Etang de Thau, which bring freshness and minerality and the clay-limestone soils of the Narbonne hillsides, which provide structure to the wine.
With a very beautiful pale pink colour, Reflets Secrets rosé reveals an expressive and complex nose of delicate floral notes of rose, fresh red fruits, raspberry and cherry, mixed with citrus notes (grapefruit, orange zest) and a touch of pepper and verbena. The palate is round, ample and delicious and offers by a perfect balance between aromatic richness and liveliness. The finish is long and very fresh, enhanced by delicate notes of grapefruit and yuzu."
90/100 Cameron Douglas MS, November 2024 (2023 Vintage)
"A delicate, light, generous and fruity wine with a bouquet and palate of light red berries and red apple, some tropical fruits and red tea ideas. Crisp and dry, balanced and well made with a decent acid line and length. A complete wine with best drinking from day of purchase through end of summer 2026."
