Maison Sainte Marguerite Symphonie Rosé 2022
This arrived in store this week, a late arrival for the ‘Rosé Season’ whatever that means. Rosés can be drunk all year round, and, like Champagne, it should not be limited to one season or a particular celebration.
This is a great argument for the adage ‘saving the best till last’.
In a word, this is an impressive Rosé with all the finesse, depth, and complexity you would expect from an excellent offering from Provence.
The nose is enticing with wildflowers, light red fruits, and spices dominating. The palate is all cherries/strawberries/watermelon with secondary notes of lime and grapefruit. Displays wonderful balance and acidity delivered with an elegant mouthfeel and a long desirable finish. This is a great wine to share on the patio over lunch, a cookout or dinner.
Pairings should include salads, grilled fish- sea bass would be my choice, lighter chicken dishes, and of course Salmon.
