Livazur Rosé 2022 - Cote d'Azur, South of France

Bronze - James Suckling

90/100 James Suckling (2021 vintage)

James Suckling "Notes of candied strawberries and cherries with pomegranate skins and caramel. Medium-bodied with a polished, chalky texture and crisp acidity."

James Suckling "Wake up Miraval fans! The super-fresh aromas of red berries, rose petals and orange zest pull you into this very well-made rosé. Crisp and very lively with lightness of touch and vibrant citrus fruit at the finish." (2021 vintage)

Winemaker "Fresh and fruity scent of garden berries, red citrus and a herbal floral. The taste has a wonderfully balanced acidity with berry fruit and a touch of English confectionery and red grapefruit."

Alcohol: 12.5%

LivAzur Rosé is a celebration of life along the Côte d'Azur and its famous pale rosé wines. The grapes come from selected locations in the Bouches-du-Rhône department that links the southern Rhône with Provence. After harvesting, the grapes are cooled down before being lightly pressed and then cold-fermented in refrigerated tanks. The wine is then allowed to mature for a few months in steel tanks before bottling.

Originally from Bordeaux, the Lavau family has been involved with winemaking for generations, and have had vineyards ranging from Bordeaux to Tunisia. In 1964 they were seduced by the richness and quality of the Provencal soil, and settled down to make wine in the Rhone Valley
