Not much information on the original maker apart from it being a cooperative of sorts (Estandon Vignerons). A blend of Cinsault, Grenache, Rolle (Vermentino) and Syrah (Shiraz). Attractively packaged with Stelvin luxe screwcap and terraced punt emphasising the art deco styling of the label.

Imported into Australia by Allegiance Wines (via their Cox Wine Merchants arm).

Lumière de Provence, Rosé, Coteaux Varois Provence, 2022

Very pale salmon. Fragrant. Pink grapefruit, nettle, peach, red currant, a little mineral brine and a touch of musk. Fine, dry palate with some crunch and plenty of refreshing acidity. Well balanced with pleasing texture and a touch of class.

 RRP: $40
