The very pale, pearly pink hue is set off by subtle golden tints. The nose reveals a discreet salinity combined with luscious notes of citrus fruit, vanilla, violets and yellow fruit, all carried by an intense minerality. The wine is fresh and energetic on entry to the palate where it shows a taut structure supported by a lovely backbone of white fruit and citrus peel. Mineral notes come to the fore before giving way to a very persistent finish, bringing both sweetness and salinity.
This pairs well with flambéed or glazed monkfish with vegetables, grilled poultry in a sauce, or fruit desserts.
Blend: 58% Grenache, 28% Cinsault, 7% Mourvedre, 7% Syrah

Seductive nose of apples, orange rind, ripe lemons and blanched almonds. Medium-bodied with fresh acidity. Supple and juicy with a caressing texture throughout. Harmonious and well-crafted. Vibrant finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink now.
Vinous: 93 Points
The 2022 Rosé Château de Selle Cru Classé opens with a striking bouquet, blending dusty dried flowers with ginger, a spritz of lemon and crushed apples. It’s supple and soothing to the senses, with a textural wave of white strawberry, candied orange and sweet inner florals. A core of brilliant acidity maintains a fantastic balance as this tapers off long and potent. A mineral staining and citrus hints tease the taste buds. Please pour me another.
Wine Enthusiast: 92 Points
Smoothly textured, this wine with its classic dominance of Grenache and Cinsault is rich. It has a lively backdrop to the ripe red berry fruits that are freshened with orange zest. Drink the wine now. Organic.
Wine Spectator: 91 Points
Creamy, with generous dried herb details overlaying a plump core of white nectarine, raspberry and floral notes, bumping up against a wall of minerality and acidic drive. An impressive rosé, with serious structure, power and concentration that unfurl with time. Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah and Mourvèdre. Drink now.
