Shimmering salmon skin. Mineral- and spice-accented red berry and pit fruit scents are complemented by a suave floral topnote. Silky and focused on the palate, offering lively strawberry, blood orange and nectarine flavors that open up slowly with air. Shows fine definition and strong persistence on the penetrating finish, which leaves repeating pit fruit and mineral notes behind. - Josh Raynolds -- Vinous

On the stony, austere side, the 2020 Cotes de Provence Rose Chateau La Mascaronne is a blend of Grenache and Cinsault, with small additions of Syrah, Rolle (Vermentino) and Mourvèdre. Scents of crushed stone are joined by hints of strawberries, melon and citrus on the nose, while the medium-bodied palate is linear and direct, with mouthwatering acids and a crisp, refreshing finish. Drink it over the next year or so.- JC
