2015 Domaine Le Pive Gris Rose...$15.99
30% Grenache Gris, 30% Grenache Noir, 30% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc
Orange blossom, white peach and hints of rose petal all emerge from the 2015 Domaine le Pive Gris Rose. This medium-bodied, supple, polished beauty is perfectly balanced, has integrated acidity and a clean, classy finish. It's terrific Rose to enjoy over the coming summer months.
Rated 90/100 The Wine Advocate
Nestled in the wilderness of the Camargue national park, Domaine le Pive is comprised of 113+ acres of organically farmed vines, with a modern, state of the art winery and historic Romanesque chapel at its center. The plentiful sun, marine winds and distinctive sandy soils (“sables sauvages”) result in fresh, aromatic, personality-filled wines.
Tasting Notes:
Pale in color, but offering plenty of aromatic intensity, with loads of strawberry, raspberry fruit, a touch of earth, spice and mineral character, and a hint of banana. Bone dry. Finishes long and clean, with great freshness. Excellent on its own and with fish/shellfish, this versatile wine has surprising intensity and will also stand up to more substantial meals (BBQ, grilled meats). A great summer picnic wine!

Tasting Notes:
Donjon’s classic, bone-dry rosé offers aromas of strawberry, cherry and plum, with a silky texture, and a long, piquant finish. Excellent on its own, with salads, and with omelettes, it can also to stand up to chicken, sausage or ham.

Rated 90/100 The Wine Advocate
A big rosé! Raspberry and pear aromas on the nose, with distinctive spicy, minty garrigue notes. Big, bold and firm on the palate, ending with a long, clean finish. A rosé for year round drinking! Excellent on its own, it is also a great food wine – pair with hearty salads, grilled vegetables, kebabs, stuffed tomatoes or charcuterie.
