2024 Saint X IGP Méditerranée Rosé
From the makers of AIX en Provence Rosé comes Saint X, their Rosé from the IGP Méditerranée appellation.
Appearance: This IGP Rosé presents a captivating pale salmon hue, with brilliant clarity and a delicate shimmer that reflects the sun-soaked terroir of its coastal vineyards.
Nose: The aromatic profile is vibrant and inviting. On the nose, there are initial notes of fresh strawberries and raspberries, characteristic of Grenache & Syrah. These red berry aromas are beautifully complemented by white blossom nuances of Viognier, reminiscent of wild roses and apricots. Peach and some floral hints add complexity, while a faint whisper of sea breeze underscores the wine’s maritime origins.
Palate: On the palate, this rosé is refreshingly crisp and lively. The Grenache imparts a juicy, red-fruited core with flavors of ripe cherries and red currants. Syrah contributes a gentle spiciness, with notes of white pepper and a touch of lavender. Cinsault brings
a delicate, silky texture, along with flavors of pink grapefruit and a hint of tart cranberry. A small but important addition of Viognier and Rolle complete the wine with some floral aromas of white blossoms and hints of apricots. The wine's acidity is bright and well-integrated, providing a clean, mouthwatering finish.
