Gavoty Rose 'Grand Classique' 2025

Domaine Gavoty Grand Classique Rosé 2025 - Côtes de Provence, France
$31  Soul Wine Price $26.35

A classic Provencal rosé that is from a polycultural farm and certified organic. Grand Classique” combines Grenache and Cinsault in roughly equal proportions, with Carignan playing a minor role. Rather than being pressed immediately after harvest by rote as many Provence rosés are, Roselyn Gavoty macerates for several hours before pressing, and the saignée and first-press juice are vinified separately. This is a more complex rosé that I will happily frink this summer, but also save a few for Fall/Winter drinking.
