Domaine Saint Andrieu Cotes-de-provence 2021 750ml
DescriptionDomaine Saint Andrieu has quietly built a reputation for crafting some of Provence's most elegant rosés, and this 2021 showcases their mastery of the style. From vineyards cooled by Mediterranean breezes, this wine captures the essence of coastal Provence.
The wine's pale pink color immediately identifies it as classic Provence rosé. The nose offers refined aromatics where white peach and raspberry notes are lifted by citrus zest and white flowers. As it develops, subtle hints of fennel, sea salt, and wet stone emerge, creating layers of complexity. The palate delivers crystalline purity; racing acidity carries delicate fruit flavors, while mineral undertones provide structure and length. The texture remains light and refreshing while offering enough substance to pair with food.
Saint Andrieu's approach emphasizes freshness and elegance over power, resulting in a rosé that epitomizes the Provençal style. This 2021 offers immediate pleasure as an aperitif while possessing the balance to accompany everything from grilled fish to salads niçoise. For those seeking textbook Provence rosé from a quality-focused producer, this bottle delivers authentic regional character at an honest price.
