James Suckling - "Pale salmon-pink color with aromas of crushed raspberries, grapefruit and cherry stones. Dried flowers, too. Medium-bodied with vibrant acidity and a flavorful, fruity palate. From organically grown grapes. Delicious now.”

Robert Parker - "The strawberry and grapefruit-scented 2020 Cotes de Provence La Vie en Rose is medium-bodied and pleasant, even if it lacks intensity and length. This is also kosher wine.” (2020 Vintage)

Falstaff - "Light salmon-pink. Rather restrained fragrance; red berries. Good fullness on the palate, round and ripe, with discreet, well-integrated acidity. A gluggable and uncomplicated in style with a textured finish.” (2018 Vintage)

Wine Enthusiast - "The style of this estate is for extra crisp, red-currant-flavored wine, and this attractively named bottling matches that profile. The tight acidity, crisp texture and young fruitiness suggest that it will be better in a few months when it has softened. Drink from late 2018. Roger Voss” (2017 Vintage)

Tom Cannavan - "A very attractive bottle for this wine, a lacey rose pattern screen printed in white over the pale pink/peach wines is very attractive. And so is the stuff inside: a blend of Provençal varieties, gently floral with small firm red berry fruits, good acidity and a long finish with pert acidity giving it a brisk and savoury appeal whilst still being fruit-forward.” (2017 Vintage)

Valerie Rousselle (winemaker) "This rosé is very typical of Provence. Perfect as an aperitif in summer and with Asian cuisine."

Chateau Roubine is owned by well-known Provencal Vigneron Valerie Rousselle and lies in the heart of the Var, in Cotes de Provence, between Verdon and the Mediterranean, where some of the most famous and highest-rated Rosés are produced. The land that Valerie bought in 1994 now extends to over 200 hectares, with 90 of them planted to thirteen different French varietals on chalky, clay-limestone soil. It is one of only fourteen wineries in the region with the “Cru Classe” designation, bestowed only on those whose wines are recognized at a higher level of quality. Surrounded by pines and oaks, the vineyards benefit greatly from natural drainage (Roubine means “brook” in the French Provencal dialect) and from the winery’s philosophy to forge an optimum association between the most advanced technology and the scrupulous application of the rules of sustainable agriculture.

Côtes de Provence AOC is the largest appellation of the Provence wine region in south-eastern France, receiving recognition in 1953, with the Cru Classe classification. The Côtes de Provence wine region covers roughly 20,000 hectares of vineyards, which produce the vast majority of Provence's rosé wine.
