Notes of unripened peach, lilac and fresh earth. Great rose — 7 years ago
Had with oysters and was divine. Great lees undertone and extremely aromatic, hitting all the right notes. Well played, sir. — 8 years ago
Outstanding value that over-performs. For $10 you get balance, acidity, and crispness. Grapefruit zest and cotton candy on the nose and the pallet exhibits strawberries, cranberries, lemon, and a refreshing finish. Great for this time of the year! To add to it, everything Michael Gassier is making under this label is receiving high accolades.
Cheers!

Rich, luscious berries in this not overly heavy wine. Very smooth. First bottle was ready to go, but second bottle required time to open up. — 5 years ago

Le Berger 2011, VdF from the Rhône, $16 by Michel Gassier, of Halos de Jupiter fame. Grenache blanc /sauv blanc blend. Lively, fresh and delicious — 11 years ago
A really good red blend. It's just the right amount of dry. The flavor in your mouth afterwards is like the wine walked through with its boots on. Maybe a little bitter. — 5 years ago
Delicious not too sweet rose! — 6 years ago
This pops with vibrant strawberry and kirsch, but continues reverberating with incense, citrus peel, damp chalk, and licorice. I would happily spend $15 again, but this gives me the confidence to trade up to Halos Gigondas or Chateauneuf du Pape the next time around.
Finally trying this label... Considering the esteem to which I hold Philippe Cambie and my love for Grenache, it's been a long time coming. Cambie, along with a Michel Gassier, produce Grenache-focused bottlings from nearly all the Southern Rhone AOCs under the Halos de Jupiter label. To Cambie, Grenache is the king of all grapes, thus the comparison to Jupiter (Zeus in Greek), forming the basis of the label. The halo symbolizes the appellations that best express the personality of Grenache. http://www.philippecambie.com/en/les-halos-de-jupiter/ — 8 years ago
Proof that good French Rose from Provence doesn't have to break the bank or spend ludicrous amounts of marketing money. Nice pale pink with that classic ocean air, crushed cranberry, red berry citrusy nose. Light & dry on the palate. Total summer into late fall Rose for $10! I would be glad to promote this wine under my new brand "The Big Fat Guido" while I grow a man braid. Should out sell the leading 750ml wine cooler rose out on the cash grab Rose market. — 8 years ago

Deep red colour with violet highlights. After decanting we were getting black fruit, cherry and earthy notes on the nose. Dense and velvety body offering a plated of chocolate, herbs, pencil lead with a fruity finish. Paired with steak frites. — 5 years ago
