Vintage Report
-
Marked by a particularly hot and dry climate, the 2022 vintage in Provence benefited from the terroirs of the interior valleys which were welcomed with rain showers in early September, which allowed the grapes to complete their maturity. The harvest then took place under a particularly mild sky, which directly contributed to the quality of the harvest.

A soft color reminiscent of rose petals. A beautiful nose of English candy, strawberry and raspberry aromas followed by light redcurrant and citrus notes. The delicate and tender palate, marked by the complexity of red and exotic fruit flavors, fully releases all the grape varieties’ expression.
- Serving Suggestions: Enjoy the liveliness of this wine with a taste of salmon, scallops or baked sea bass with fennel.

Les Commandeurs Rosé, AOP Côtes de Provence — 2022 – Wine & Spirits – 90 Points
“A floral-herbal edge takes this wine beyond the simplicity of most pale pinks, and it lasts on peach-pit savor. For grilled zucchini.”

Les Commandeurs Rosé, Côtes de Provence — 2022 – Vinous – 91 points
“The 2022 Rosé Les Commandeurs is delicate yet captivating all the same. Chamomile complements white strawberry and young peach on the nose. This excites the palate with brilliant acidity balanced by ripe orchard fruits while taking on an inner floral resonance. Spice and citrus zest linger as the 2022 finishes fresh and crisp.” —Eric Guido
