Where this wine comes from is really an incredible story about perseverance and self-belief. Gerard Bru bought a parcel filled with olive trees in the 1980 in Languedoc. Given the perfect climate for winegrowing and the clay and limestone soils, he figured his plot would be ideal for growing grapes. Nobody agreed. In fact, where he was in Languedoc wasn’t even recognized in the official A.O.C. More than two decades later, Puech-Haut is known for their excellent red blends and zippy Rosés. Needless to say, the winery is now a proudly recognized member of the Languedoc winegrowing region today.
The 2019 ‘Argali’ Rosé is refreshingly crisp and clean with bright notes of white peach, strawberry and mango. It’s serious Rosé from a region that may be the best in the world for pink wines. This one is a case buy all the way.

If you’re looking for one of my most sincere recommendations of the year, heed this: this is the Rose to have of all the ones I’ve tried so far. The newly released 2021 Effet Papillon Rose is off the charts. Made 100% from Grenache (as many of the best Southern French Roses are, this is salmon in color. It boasts aromas of bright red and stone fruits, orange rinds and a hint of lemon zest. It’s incredibly smooth and dry, making it a great food wine– but this Rose is serious with depth and complexity, making it worthy of enjoying on its own.

Dollar for dollar, Xavier Vignon’s Côtes du Rhône is one of the best buys in the store whenever we get it in, and the new 2018 vintage in particular is one that I can tell a lot of people are going to love. It’s a got a killer nose, loaded with aromas of anise, black berries and even some white pepper. Even with a small price tag, this one packs a big punch — it’s deeply concentrated with a vibrant long finish, as good at any table as it is just by itself.

The winery made famous by Brad Pitt and Angelina is more famous in the wine world for their fleet of top Provencal Roses made by none other than superstar winemaker Marc Perrin, who has countless times turned the wine world on its head with his 100-point Chateauneuf du Papes at Chateau de Beaucastel. His newly released 2021 Miraval Rose shines with a beautiful salmon color, juicy notes of macerated cherries, strawberry currants, citrus and a lemon zest. It flashes that refreshing minerality that has become a Provence signature but crafted at 1100 ft above sea level, its crispness and vibrancy is unparalleled.

The flagship from Xavier is the 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape Cuvee Anonyme, and in 2019 it’s 60% Grenache, 15% Mourvèdre, 10% Syrah, and the balance a mix of permitted varieties. Partially destemmed and brought up in a mix of demi-muids and tank, it offers a beautifully pure, vibrant bouquet of black raspberries, white and black pepper, candied orange, and violets. Complex, layered, and nuanced, this beauty is medium to full-bodied, has a seamless texture, and a great finish. It has both elegance and richness, and will keep for 15+ years.
