The saying goes that if you want to find a good Rosé in Provence, all you have to do is walk to the next winery. To some extent, that’s true. Everybody’s favorite, pink wine, took off in Provence in the late 1990s creating one of the fastest growing trends in wine & spirits history.
In fact Rosé got so popular in the region, it now accounts for more than 90% of all the wine made there, a staggering number. And while there’s great Rosé wherever you go in Provence, to find my favorites, the smooth, dry, higher elevation Rosé, you have to go to the hills of Aix-en-Provence.
In the “city of a thousand fountains”, wineries such as Bieler Père et Fils have the advantage of nearly 300 meters in altitude, something much of the region can’t benefit from. At these heights, the cooler, windier nights keep the grapes in perfect balance.
The father-son duo of Charles and Philippe Bieler have been working together making wine for nearly 25 years. Philippe, the elder of the two, worked for 30 years at Chateau Routas, turning the small Provence winery into an international super star. His son Charles grew up watching his dad and then eventually working with him.
Their goal each year is to find the delicate balance between floral, herbal, wild red fruits, stone fruit and acid and to create the perfect harmonious blend. They make the Sabine Rosé each year as a blend of their best fruit sourced from within the sub-region. They’ve been working with the same growers now since their inception, a key ingredient into the continued excellence the father son pair has enjoyed.

Fresh red fruits, a hint of peach and a building floral quality on the nose. Silky and seamless in texture, offering juicy strawberry, nectarine and orange flavors that are sharpened by a spicy flourish. Finishes long and supple, with repeating spiciness and a touch of anise.

We’re nearing the end of what was a flawlessly crafted, high energy coastal Chardonnay release from one of California’s hottest spots. It’s still every bit as bright and refreshing as you could want and it hits with clean, pristine green apple fruits, pears and citrus notes with a hint of that limestone-influenced minerality. It’s a fantastic wine for all seasons, the perfect pair with mixed seafood, summer tomatoes, corn and freshly caught fish.

“Cherry skins and figs scent this 100% Cabernet Franc rosé. An energetic effervescence releases sweet cherry and tart cranberry. Minerality plays a key role on the long finish.”
Recently Wolffer Estate has expanded their famous Rose line to now include a Cotes de Provence Rose. For my money, it’s hands down a better bottling – an energetic and super fresh pink wine created from the French staple Rose grapes of Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah as opposed to the Long Island version that has a whole lot of varietals mixed in. It’s bright and balanced and the perfect treat for the pool or beach as the weather warms.
The just released 2023 Crochet Sancerre Rosé is drawn from the high elevations of Janine and Teddy Crochet’s Pinot Noir vines in the village of Bué. The conditions are perfect for crisp, delicious Sancerre Rosé. Salmon-pink in color with a pretty nose featuring aromas of roses, orange peel and Bing cherry notes. This is as well-balanced as always with terrific fruit flavors of citrus and red berries with racy a high-toned finish.
