Chateau Margui Coteaux Varois Rose, Provence 2015

For some reason this Chateau Margui wine reminded me of John Singer Sargent’s painting of Lady Agnew. Delicately colorful and expressive, subdued and restrained to the benefit of good taste, penetrating. Its pearly gray rosé color suggests the wine’s bright and refreshing nature. Grapefruit, peach, spice, and minerality… Not a juicy, fruit-jammed rosé, the Château Margüi satisfies those looking for a light summer sipper, with or without food. I can almost sense Lady Agnew reaching for a bottle of Château Margüi rosé hidden behind her fauteuil. – Daniel

Wine Enthusiast 90 points “Organically grown grapes have produced a clear, crisp wine with freshness and lively acidity. These blend effortlessly into the red fruits and light squeeze of lemon juice. The wine is bright and ready to drink.” 40% Cinsault, 40% Grenache, 10% Syrah, 10% Rolle. Hand-harvested.
