2021 Chateau Galoupet - Rose - Côtes de Provence Cru Classe

Decanter.com – 92 pts – EG: *Pale salmon pink. Still youthful with subtle notes of oak and red berries on the nose. On the palate there's elegant white fruit with ripe white peaches, a hint of white flowers, a whisper of sweet Tibouren apricot fruit mid-palate, and some oaky vanillin notes. Firm minerality mid-palate gives depth and structure while the long saline acidity gives an elegant freshness. Good concentration and intensity with a clean, pristine finish and good ageing potential. Contains 49% Grenache, 12% Tibouren, 11% of co-fermented Syrah and Rolle, 7% Cinsault, and 2% of Mourvèdre, Cabernet and Sémillon.* - 03/2022

Falstaff Magazin – 94 pts – AK: *Im Duft zeigen sich weiße Johannisbeere, zarte Pfirsicharomen, reife Amalfi-Zitrone und ein Hauch von Sahne. Am Gaumen ist der Wein wunderbar weich und kraftvoll, mit einer gewissen runden, großzügigen Fülle, die sich im Abgang zu einer schönen Frische verjüngt.* - 07/2022

JancisRobinson.com – 16+/20pts – JR: *Full, cork-stoppered dramatic, eye-catching, inconveniently (for wine racks) fat, amber glass embossed bottle, proudly stating 'Cru Classé de Provence', just 1,242 g. Pale Provençal pink. Quite a big wine. Arguably less refreshing than some of its peers. But perhaps with age it will assume relative greatness? Very definitely a wine for food, this has depth and potential. Some persistence and it lasted well in an open bottle over 24 hours.* - 05/2022
