Importer notes: "This dry Rose comes from Provence, the homeland of the greatest dry Rosé wines. Drinking more like a $20 bottle, the 2012 Bieler is a gem amongst pale pinks with its broad midpalate loaded with wild strawberry and bright berry fruit." 55% Syrah, 25% Grenache, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Cinsault.

90 points Robert Parker: "[$18 list] The early-bottled, gorgeous 2012 Miraflors Rose is a blend of 70% Mourvedre and 30% Grenache Gris that was aged on its lees for four months prior to bottling. Its beautiful color is accompanied by scents of framboise, earth and strawberries presented in a medium-bodied, surprisingly substantial format. Think of it as a Bandol-styled rose offered at a much more realistic price point. Drink it over the next year. (Dec 2012)"
Producer notes: "Very fresh, pale color with salmon hues. The nose references sea flavors with spices and minerality. The wine palate is crisp; the spiciness and fruit have a nice, round finish. Enjoy with mixed salads, cold and grilled meats."

92-93 points David Schildknecht (Wine Advocate): "...a superb value. From tank, the Mas de la Deveze grand vin, 2007 Cotes du Roussillon Villages -- half Grenache, with the rest evenly split between Syrah and Carignan, and matured in used barriques -- is an intensely-concentrated essence of fresh black fruits and smoky, stony minerality, with accents of bitter, tart fruit pit and skin and resinous herbs. There is a sheer sap and vivacious, tactilely pungent and invigorating cling here that just won’t quit. The density of ripe fruit is matched by graphite and crushed stone. Assuming Bernstein has gotten this into bottle with minimal loss, it will be as fine as any wine yet from his estate. (Jun 2009)"

50% Grenache, 35% Cinsault, 15% Tibouren. This rosé is one of the finest wines of the Côtes de Provence appellation. With its magnificent location in the center of the Saint-Tropez peninsula, the Minuty Château was acquired by the Matton-Farnet family in 1936. This vineyard gained "Cru Classe" status in 1955 and has remained one of Provence's flagship estates ever since. Its 65 hectares are traditionally cultivated (no herbicides, no pesticides) to allow the full expression of traditional Provence varieties in the terroir of this exceptionally sunny region. Truly the taste of summer, this light, refreshing and versatile wine pairs well with light fare, from pastas, cheeses, grilled seafood, poultry and pork as well as seasonal vegetable dishes.

90 points Rhone Report: "A beautiful, very Provencal Rose that.s an even split of Grenache and Cinsault, the 2011 Cuvee Prestige Rose is incredibly light in color, with only hints of pink and salmon showing. Nevertheless, it.s certainly not light on flavor and possesses loads of sweet red cherries, red currant, and rose petal that carry into a medium-bodied, racy wine that has excellent fruit, a light, clean texture, and a saline, mineral slant on the finish. Enjoy bottles over the coming year. (Mar 2012)"
Chateau Puech Haut occupies 170 hectares including 100 hectares of vines in Saint-Drézéry, a small village 15 km northeast of Montpellier, in the foothills of the Cevennes and belongs to the AOC Coteause du Langedoc. In Provence, a 'Puech' means a small hill (or mountain), a 'Puech Haut' is a hill higher than the others. This position, 'on a hill higher than the others', is conducive to exceptional drainage for the vineyards. The clay and limestone soil is composed of boulders brought by the Rhone in the Quaternary and its plots reside on hillsides protected from excessive temperatures by the nearby Mediterranean Sea and winds including the Mistral, the north wine pervasive in the region.
