Un blanc de noir composé de clairette, grenache, cinsault, vinifiés et élevés en foudre de 20 hl et en demi-muids venus de Châteauneuf. La robe est blanche, à peine rosée. Bien ouvert, c’est un paysage de fruits secs, d’herbes folles, de foin d’été, de fleur d’acacia où la touche subtile du bois est rémanente. Sa bouche mêle légère tension et rondeur.
90. The 2022 Au Petit Bonheur Rosé is another beautiful rosé and one I always love. Mulled cherries, orange, and savory herb notes all define the aromatics, and it’s medium-bodied, with a salty, slightly nutty style ans outstanding lengh. Brought up all in wood, it’s mostly Grenache and Cinsault.
92 pts. Very distinctive nose of quince, ripe pear, orange blossom and rose. Mouth-filling richness and a wonderful creamy texture pull you onto their magic carpet and take you for a ride. Then the restrained tannins come through and give the finish a wonderful tension in spite of the soft acidity. A blanc de noirs made from grenache and cinsault, fermented and matured in 600-liter wooden casks. Drink now.
