An incredibly consistent bottling from year to year, the 2018 Costieres de Nimes Rose Vieilles Vignes again stands out as a top rosé from the region. Hints of crushed stone set the stage on the nose, bringing a sense of austerity to the hints of strawberry, white peach and melon. It's medium-bodied and silky textured on the palate, ending on refreshing citrus and brine notes that linger on the finish. Kudos!
