The nose is open and expressive, with exotic fruit, citrus and a gentle herbal-spicy edge. On the palate it is dry, supple and delicate, with ripe fruit at the core and enough freshness to keep it feeling clean and lifted. There is a tender, persistent finish here that gives it a bit more shape than a simple holiday white.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eFrance\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eProvence AOC\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSub-Region: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eFréjus\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrape(s): \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e100% Rolle\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABV: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e12.5%\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFriendly: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eOrganic\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAwards \u0026amp; Critics' Scores\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003en\/a\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Story\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eChâteau Paquette sits in a lovely spot near Fréjus, where the Provençal pine forest meets the red volcanic rock of the Esterel and the air carries a little of the sea with it. That setting tells you quite a lot about the wine before you even open it. This is not Provence in the pale-rosé-only sense – it is the broader, older Mediterranean picture, where whites can carry sunshine, herbs, citrus and a quiet salty freshness all at once. If the rosé is the postcard, the blanc feels a little more like the place itself.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect With...
