Commanderie de Peyrassol Peyrassol Cuvée des Commandeurs 2024 750ml

Deep, glistening amber-pink in the glass, the 2023 Rosé Les Commandeurs is expressive and especially pretty, with an engaging bouquet of ripe pear, honeysuckle, baked apple and sweet spices. Well-proportioned, it strikes a fine balance of suppleness, juiciness and grip, propped up against a backdrop of typical Provencal salinity. All this is missing is some depth through the mid-palate—it's just a little ethereal. A pleasant vanilla nuance shows up right at the tail end, rendering this a little creamier than expected. Lovely. This is a fine effort.

Theres zesty richness behind this versions notes of jasmine, orange zest and peach, all filigreed with salt and smoke on a fresh, energetic palate. Refreshingly pure and tangy, this is a perfect summer pour, with Mediterranean terroir peeking through. Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah. Drink now. 65,000 cases made, 13,000 cases imported.
