Tasting notes
A lovely and flavorful rosé, as always. It’s pure sciacarello with pretty aromas of apples, pomegranates and hints of plums. Flavorful yet subtle, with a long and flavorful finish. Intense at the end. A longtime favorite rosé from France. Medium-bodied. Lots going on. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink now.

The 2022 Faustine Vieilles Vignes Rosé is labeled as Vin de France because of the use of a single indigenous grape: Sciaccarello. Evoking aromas of rose petals, grapefruit, spring flowers, iodine, red berries, peach, garrigue and lemon, it’s sappy and velvety, built around bright acids with a fleshy core of fruit and a fresh, salty and iodine-laced finish. As usual, this overperforming estate from granite soils has produced a rosé that punches above its weight.
