Soft, rich wine, with definite vanilla flavors as well as attractive acidity. It’s a food rosé, with its apple skin texture giving a tang. The finish is fresh, crisp and fruity.

Château Réal Martin 2006 Grande Cuvée Rosé (Côtes de Provence)
- Online Exclusive
- $15
This is classic Provence rosé (in the best sense) from one of the oldest estates in the region, once owned by the Counts of Provence. It is elegant, relatively delicate, but is filled with herbs and southern warmth, as well as crisp, red berry aftertaste.

Château Réal Martin 2009 Perle de Rosé (Côtes de Provence)
- Online Exclusive
Fresh and sprightly, this is a lively, crisp, red berry-flavored wine, smoothed by a touch of light caramel. The acidity carries right through, giving a great lift.

Château Réal Martin 2004 Red (Côtes de Provence)
- Best Buy
- $10
Comes out of the chute a little stinky and reductive, so give it a good decanting before serving. Once it comes around, the flavors are bold and fresh: watermelon and strawberry held together by a crisp, citrusy backbone. Imported by Vranken America.

Château Réal Martin 2000 L'Optimum Grande Reserve Syrah-Grenache (Côtes de Provence)
- $32
A blend of 75% Syrah and 25% Grenache with some slightly funky aromatics. Leather, horse sweat and Band-Aid scents vie with cherries on the nose and in the mouth, while the finish develops a metallic flavor alongside its supple feel. Imported by Vranken America.

Château Réal Martin 2003 White (Côtes de Provence)
- $15
This blend of Rolle and Ugni Blanc is light, clean and fresh—and little else. It delivers modest apple, pear and citrus flavors and would be fine as an apéritif. Imported by Vranken America.

Château Réal Martin 2001 Syrah-Grenache (Côtes de Provence)
- $13
A 50-50 blend of Syrah and Grenache that’s marred by sulfury notes on the nose that come across as garlicky on the palate. Seems to have decent weight and texture, so may be worth a try if you are less sensitive to these compounds. Imported by Vranken America.
