VertdeVin "The wine is limpid and shiny. On the slightly pronounced pink gold with melon reflections. The first nose is expressed by fruits: a little quince, a little apple, but also stone fruits such as peaches. With aeration, it is a little more floral. The whole remains fresh with a hint of bitter almond. The attack is fresh, frank and aromatic on small acidulated red fruits such as redcurrant and wild strawberry. We find a touch of astringency in the middle of the mouth which continues on a rounder finish on the meringue. There are some fruits: white peach, candy strawberry and orange blossom. There is a good length."

Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast "Grenache and Cinsault dominate this wine, with its ripe raspberry fruits and a tangy line of acidity. It is spicy, hinting at pepper and finishing with bright acidity." (2021 vintage)

James Suckling "Pale peach-straw color with aromas of white strawberry, sliced apple and cream. It’s medium-to full-bodied with a creamy texture and a smooth, stony finish." (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."(2020 vintage)

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."(2020 vintage)

James Suckling "Plenty of peach and pear aromas and flavors with a medium to full body, lightly tinned fruit and a flavorful finish. Slightly heavier than some." (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)

Made by one of the World's Top 10 winemakers

Wine-maker, Jean-Luc Zuger has been praised by top wine critics as "miraculous"

Winemaker "Lovely aromas of citrus and flowers lead to a charming, sensual palate of berries, flowers and saline-laced minerals."

45% Grenache, 35% Cinsault, 15% Mourvèdre and 5% Rolle.

Jean Luc Zuger is the owner of a famuos Chateau in the Bordeaux appellation of Margaux. Ferderic Salin is the owner of a generations-old négociant firm in Bordeaux that has excelled in representing and brokering the best and most famous wines since the end of the eighteenth century.

Both men share a passion for wine and rosé from Provence! This wine pays respect to the steep slopes in Provence 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.

Cotes de Provence is the largest appellation of the famous wine region of Provence. It covers roughly 50,000 acres (20,250ha) of vineyards, which produce the vast majority of Provence's Rosé wine.

Although it also covers red and white wine, about 85% of Cotes de Provence's wine is Rosé, made predominantly from Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre, Cinsaut and the quintessentially Provencal grape Tibouren.
