Many years ago, Melissa and I traveled to the south of France and fell in love with each other. That’s the important part of that story but a little side effect of that trip was the discovery of dry, Provençal rosé.
Of course, when we got back to the States and got up on our soapboxes to proclaim the wonder of this wine, all we got were crickets….our market was still stuck on white zin when it came to pink wine.
Of course, a lot has changed since the 90’s including the bucket loads of Gassier’s Esprit Rose that we’ve enjoyed vintage in and vintage out for just under twenty bucks a bottle.
But one wine we’ve never offered is the estate’s flagship rose. Why not? Because its best price is usually about thirty bucks a bottle and that just seems too high for Provincial rose even if it does have a glowing 92 point review from Vinous.
But today we have Gassier’s Pas du Moine Rose – the best price I could find online was $27.99, but today, ours beats that by a mile.

92 Points, Vinous
Brilliant salmon skin. Highly perfumed, mineral- accented aromas of fresh berries, citrus and pit fruits and a suave floral note. Silky and focused on the mouth, offering juicy nectarine, strawberry and blood orange flavors that show fine clarity and tension. Deepens on a very long, lively finish, that leaves a repeating floral note behind.
92 Points, Wine Enthusiast
This is a rich, raspberry-flavored wine, full of vibrant acidity and fruitiness. Freshness contrasts with the wine’s ripeness and generous structure. Drink from late 2020.

It’s no surprise the Wine Advocate has called the Ventoux a “screaming bargain.” Carved off the left bank of the Rhone River, the 2020 Delas Ventoux is a gorgeous medium-bodied wine with wonderful crushed red fruits, a silky mouthfeel, tremendous structure and that signature Rhone spice on the finish. I haven’t had this wine available for a few vintages, but I figure it’s the perfect springtime Red to bring back in the fold!
90 Points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
Xavier Vignon’s brand spanking new CDR 100% is a thing of beauty. It’s already got a blessing from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate who described this wine as, “Full-bodied, concentrated and supple”. This is a gorgeous and intricate blend that features all of the Southern Rhone appellations. This year, the blend was 40% Grenache, 25% Mourvedre, 15% Syrah, 7% Cinsault, 7% Marselan, 6% Terret Noir. Nobody can do it like the mad scientist, Xavier Vignon.

The Bernard Reverdy Sancerre Rose 2022 is gorgeous. A beautiful pale pink to the brim, this baby is fresh and super aromatic with a complex nose of citrus, wild strawberries and white flowers. With air, higher tones emerge, with a great mingling of ripe fruit, and stony minerality. Medium-bodied, fresh and focused on the palate, with concise limestone-drive acidity, this is an elegant, lively, and energetic Sancerre Rose that mirrors the warm vintage but also the old vines rooting deep in stony soils. This is so much better than your run-of-the mill Rose – it’s an ageworthy, food-friendly Rose
