2023 Vin de France Rosé “Au Petit Bonheur”
Domaine Les Pallières
Forgive me, non-Tolkien fans, but I can’t help thinking of Mithril when I take a sip of this gorgeous vin gris. Like the precious Middle Earth metal that resembles silver and is both stronger and lighter than steel, Les Pallières’s rosé looks ethereal—you might easily mistake it for a white wine—yet when you take a sip, your taste buds are flooded by intensely vivid flavors of Provençal herbs, red berries, melon, and succulent citrus. The Brunier family is best known for their reds, but they make a dynamite rosé, too.

A good doctor prescribed the wine of Nuits-Saint-Georges to the Sun King, Louis XIV, when he suffered an unknown maladie. When the king’s health was restored the tasty remedy enjoyed a vogue at court. Lord, send me a doctor like that!
