Chateau Saint Pierre 2024 "Eden" Cotes de Provence Rose

I was worried that all the charm for this wine might come from the bottle and not what’s in the bottle but I should have known better considering we have stocked Roses from this Chateau for many years now. In fact I like the extra bit of power you get in this bottle compared to the Tradition from the same estate. Made from Grenache, Syrah and Cinsault and aged in stainless steel which always helps retain freshness. They name this “Eden” in tribute to the Garden of Eden and that is what this wine reminds me of, a garden. Ripe peach, flowering orange blossom, fresh cut herbs and cantaloupe. Nice, full texture with a longer, fantastically fruit driven finish.
