Think I like this better than the last Miraval vintage which is to say, totally solid and yum grocery store avail rosé that when the warm weather beckons you can crack alongside your springtime frolics. But like, better than a lot of rosé. Maybe not on par w my faves but damn enjoyable. Okay WSET-(ish)analysis.
Eye: almost salmon
Nose: medium intensity raspberry meringue and an invigorated river
Tongue: medium plus acid, medium alcohol (13%) and medium plus bod for a pink. Flavors of raspberry foam, vanilla cream and, like big stones tossed into a cobbler, damn that is not technically wset but I’ll save those notes for the test I have coming. Anyway yum. Maybe I am too happy to drink a happy pink lime Miraval but I’m into this one about as much as I was the year I discovered it which I believe was the 2015 vintage. Yay. Go on now.

Nez moins grillé que le Ente, plus discret, floral, minéral. En revanche en bouche c'est une explosion de complexité, mais toujours appuyé par un équilibre parfait, très long. — 9 years ago

Candied ginger, carrot and carrot peel, little spice and loads of florality. Grippy but mouth watering but heated too! Eccentric wine! — 7 years ago
Tres bon, mais semble dans une phase plus fermée. Le fruit était moins expressif que la dernière bouteille bue. Beaucoup de matière, belle densité par contre. Belle finale et beaucoup plus agréable après 2 heures! — 7 years ago
Servi à l'aveugle pour tromper Jacques qui n'a jamais été impressionné par Rougeard. Carafé 1 heure et demie. Couleur plus claire que le Corton. Au nez, tout le monde remarque que le vin est plus évolué, plus en finesse. On y sent du fruits rouge, un peu de verdure et des fleurs. En bouche la texture est soyeuse et sexy, les fruits rouges sont biens présents et un peu confiturés. Il y a une belle minéralité et la finale est longue. Verdict des 4 à table... Rougeard haut la main et la bouteille est dévoilée!!! Wow ! — 8 years ago

2016 is big and tart and “tasty” right now. Might could calm down a little with more time. — 5 years ago

Dark fruit, cherry and blackberry, with a hint of fragrant spice. Soft tannins that still have a nice grip. Wonderful lingering finish. — 8 years ago

So yummy - light skin contact makes it have an almost cider-like taste with a clean brightness to finish — 5 years ago
