Domaine de L'Abbaye Clos Beylesse Rosé de Provence 2022

Domaine de L'Abbaye Clos Beylesse Rose de Provence 2022 Provence, France

The Domaine de l’Abbaye consists of over 80 acres. About 1/3 is vineyards and most of the remaining land is planted to olives. A small, historic vineyard called the Clos Beylesse consists of just under 20 acres. When Franc Petit acquired the property he began replanting the vineyards and orchards. Now in his 70s, he continues to do all the work with the assistance of a few helpers. Some 25 years ago he determined that the best grapes were coming from the Clos Beylesse which he had replanted. He therefore decided to make a wine exclusively from that plot. He chose the distinctive and beautiful cobalt blue bottle because of the proximity of the vineyard to the sea. And, although there are small amounts of two other rosés made from estate grown grapes, today most of the production comes from the Clos Beylesse. The grapes used consist of mostly Syrah and Grenache with some Cinsault. This is a consistently excellent rosé with great style and finesse.

Pale pink color with a faint golden hue this rosé has a gorgeous perfume of peach and citrus with a faint floral melon undertone. It has gorgeous fruit with hints of peach and melon and a faint citrus tinge. Balanced and flavorful yet with great finesse this is irresistible.
