Cassis: Clos Sainte Magdeleine Rosé 2010
As well as the Clos Sainte Magdeleine blanc, François Sack’s estate also makes a spot of pretty, coral-pink Cassis rosé from Provençal staples Grenache, Cinsault and Mourvèdre. It has delicate red–berry aromas and a savoury, dry finish and it too has a definite affinity for seafood – lobster, langoustines or a simple dressed crab would suffice.
What others think of this wine...
Jancis Robinson MW - JancisRobinson.com 13th July 2011 says:Cinsault, Grenache and Mourvèdre. Very pale salmon indeed. A little bit of minerality on the nose here – or is it perhaps the salinity of the sea? Mouth filling and very complete. Quite sophisticated and delicate. Lovely texture and playful. 12.5%
