 It's officially full-on Spring time, so it's a good time to start dipping into the incoming waves of new Rose releases. Provence is always a great place to start as they essentially specialize in producing their special style of Rose wine for the world, and there is always lots to choose from. l'Escarelle is a new (to us) producer, but has been received well in recent vintages (described as 'dangerously drinkable' in Vinous for the last vintage) and we were very excited about it for the price when we first got to sample. We think you will be as well. Light and fresh aromas of fresh citrus and wet herbs, classic Provencal nose that speaks so much of the Mediterranean coastal sunshine. The palate is loaded with watermelon and strawberry tones, but lightened by the cool mineral kick that gives you some tanginess on the finish. The label will of course draw many people in, but what's inside will keep you coming back for more. Don't wait for the press to tell you if it's good or not, because it could be long gone by then!
