1 x Salin Domaine de Tamary ~ Cotes de Provence Rosé 2020 ~ Provence, France
5 Stars, Kerry Wines 5 Stars, Millesima - France 4,5 Stars, The Wine Merchant Ltd (2020 vintage)
Robert Parker "A blend of 45% Grenache, 20% Cinsault, 10% each Rolle (Vermentino) and Syrah, plus 5% each of Mourvèdre, Sémillon and Tibouren, Tamary's 2020 Cotes de Provence Rose is a pale, coppery rosé that reveals hints of brine to go alongside peach, melon and citrus notes. It's medium-bodied and nicely rounded and generous on the palate, with a gentle, easy-drinking and harmonious finish."
Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast "A blend of six grapes, this pale-pink wine is aromatic and attractively ripe, with a mineral edge to freshness. The red fruits, citrus flavors and crisp aftertaste make the wine immediately attractive. Drink now."
Decanter "Owned by Jean-Luc Zuger of Malescot St Exupéry (along with Frédéric Salin of Salin négociants), this is savoury to the point that you can almost taste a salt-licked tang on the finish, and the slate texture is marked, as are gentle redcurrant notes. This quality makes it quite unusual, and gives it presence. One for fans of not overly sweet rosés - of which I am one." (2019 vintage)
Robert Parker "A blend of 40% each Cinsault and Grenache, with 13% Syrah and 7% Mourvèdre, Tamary's 2019 Cotes de Provence Rose offers sedate notes of cantaloupe and lime zest. It's medium-bodied and plump in the mouth, with that zesty, slightly bitter note providing energy across the palate and through the long finish." (2019 vintage)
Falstaff "Pale salmon pink, silver reflections. Fresh white apple, a hint of red berries, lime zest, good minerality. Medium-bodied, fine fruity sweetness, well balanced by a lively acidity, lingers, fine touch of ripe pear in the finish, a versatile, summery food accompaniment." (2015 vintage)
Vinum Wine Magazine "As soon as the pink Côtes de Provence sparkles in the glass, the movie starts rolling in your head: Angelina and Brad in the "Café Sénéquier" at the port of Saint-Tropez. In the glass: the rosé that grows directly behind the beach. In the past, it often tasted clumsy, old-fashioned and alcoholic. But in recent years, the winegrowers have stepped on the gas. The Tamary rosé is a blend of Cinsault, Grenache and Mourvèdre. Aromas of summer herbs, flowers and roses. Soft on the palate, with southern charm and yet wholesome" (2015 vintage)
Made by one of the World's Top 10 winemakers
Wine-maker, Jean-Luc Zuger has been praised by top wine critics as "miraculous"
The Winemaker "Lovely aromas of citrus and flowers lead to a charming, sensual palate of berries, flowers and saline-laced minerals."
Made of 45% Grenache, 35% Cinsault, 15% Mourvèdre and 5% Rolle.
Winemaker, Jean Luc Zuger is the owner of a famuos Chateau in the Bordeaux appellation of Margaux. Together with Ferderic Salin; owner of the famous Bordeaux based négociant firm they bought and created Domaine de Tamary. Both share a passion for Provence rosé.
This is the result of that love, which saw them purchase the Domaine Tamary and look to seek-out its best possible incarnations. This wine pays respect to the steep slopes on which the Cinsault grapes are grown. These slopes, or "terrassess", provide vital exposure to the sunshine, protection from the strong mistral winds and resistance to disease that are key components to retaining the freshness and crisp balance in this wine.
The Guide Hachette des Vins - the bible of the French wine industry - gave Zuger’s 2007 Bordeaux its highest three-star rating, a score reserved for exceptional wines that are a perfect example of their appellation.
1 x Les Centenaires Costières Blanc La Bergerie de Nimes 2019 - Southern Rhône, France
Jeb Dunnuck 91/100 (2017 vintage)
Jeb Dunnuck “The 2017 Costieres De Nimes Blanc has a great bouquet of ripe orchard fruits, white flowers, fresh pineapple, appleblossom and hints of almonds. Its deep, rich, medium to full bodied, and beautifully textured on the palate, and has real class … seriously impressive southern Rhone white” (2017 vintage)
The Winemaker “A floral nose with pear notes. On the palate, a very nice balance between minerality and roundness with a fresh finish.” (2018 Vintage)
Clos des Centenaires was founded of Luc Baudet of Chateau Mas-Neuf fame, and Californian wine industry veteran, Jack Edwards who both share a passion for artisan wines and the terroir of France’s Southern Rhone.
The vineyard soils are cultivated amongst natural grassland using shallow tillage methods and special attention is paid to the revitalization of vines (using annually prepared biodynamic compost). Inputs are limited to organically approved natural products.
Costieres de Nimes is the most southerly appellation of the Rhone wine region in southeastern France. The wines of the area are reputed to have been consumed by the Ancient Greeks and thus figure among the oldest known wines in the world. The Costieres de Nimes AOC covers an area between the towns of Nimes and Arles.
