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.

Trust the great winemakers, trust the great vineyards. Your wine merchant might even be trustworthy. In the long run, that vintage strip may be the least important guide to quality on your bottle of wine.—Kermit Lynch
