As the saying goes, if you want to find a good Rosé in Provence, all you have to do is walk to the next winery. And for the most part, it’s true. Rosé in Provence has completely taken off since the late 1990s, creating one of the fastest growing trends in wine and spirits history.
In fact, Rosé got so popular in the region that it now accounts for more than 90% of all the wine made there, a truly staggering number. And while there’s great Rosé wherever you go in Provence, to find my favorites–the smooth, dry, higher elevation Rosés–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 a distinct advantage of a vineyard nearly 300 meters in altitude, something most of the region can’t claim. At these heights, the cooler, windier nights keep the grapes in perfect balance.
The father-son duo of Charles and Philippe Bieler have been making wine together 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 superstar. His son Charles grew up watching his dad and eventually came to work with him.

Vivid orange-pink. Fresh red berry, pit fruit and floral qualities on the perfumed nose, along with suggestions of dusty minerals and orange pith. Juicy, focused and energetic on the palate, offering subtly sweet nectarine, strawberry and white pepper flavors that are supported by a spine of juicy acidity. Shows very good clarity on a long, sappy finish that echoes the floral and pit fruit notes.
Made by Bo and Heidi Barrett’s rising superstar daughter, Chelsea, this Right Bank ode is a gorgeous Bordeaux blend that leads with dark fruits like black cherry and plum with clove, hints of vanilla and hint of nutmeg. It’s a very round, plush mouthfeel with smooth, silky tannins that expertly support the wine along with a rich, dark-fruited finish that steals the show.
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 summer, the perfect pair with mixed seafood, summer tomatoes, corn and freshly caught fish.

You aren’t going to do better finding a racy, mouthwateringly spicy, zipped-up bottle of Rose than this Italian gem. You’re certainly not going to find one as highly rated or highly recommended by two very-well respected wine critics. And, of course, you won’t find an uglier label out there either.

Domaine Jaume Vinsobres Altitude 420 is an old-vine Grenache-Syrah blend from vineyards planted in Les Collines at some of the highest points in the Rhône. The Jaumes have farmed these dizzying elevations at their estate in Vinsobres for 100+ years. The 2020 is one of his best yet, pristine and fresh, a bowl full of berried-up fruit yet with the tension and length that belies its humble price. Incredible bang for the buck, tailor-made for anyone’s house red, and a slam dunk for any kind of meat on the bone.
