2018 Garrus Rosé, Château d’Esclans, Côtes de Provence
£84.00
“This is like glacier water with crystalline purity; the transparency of florals to the 2018 Garrus are stunning – think almond blossom, white roses and gentian. White peaches and chamomile are also never far away. There’s striking tension to the palate, which is full-bodied and very oily, but brilliantly pure and vivacious. Long and mineral on the finish.”
95 Points, James Suckling
“Light salmon pink. Balsamic wood, a whisper of chamomile tea, red berries, forest blueberries, aromatically highly endowed. Feisty palate, strong wood accent, substantial, alcohol has drive but is well-integrated, dense with a discreet mineral underpinning, ripe acidity carries the wine well; a big rosé that definitely needs a dish.”
