Château du Galoupet 2006 Rosé (Côtes de Provence)

Online Exclusive

Château du Galoupet 2007 Rosé (Côtes de Provence)

A pale salmon-colored rosé, this is largely Cinsault (60%), with the rest a blend of Grenache and Syrah. It’s more minerally than most, with canteloupe and pomegranate fruit and a minerally finish reminiscent of smoky quartz. — J.C. (7/1/2008)

Château du Galoupet 2009 Rosé (Côtes de Provence)

Online Exclusive

Plump yet sleek, with slightly tarry, rubbery notes that only slowly fade to reveal a medium-bodied dry rosé. Turns minerally on the finish. — W.E. (9/1/2010)
