Rosabelle Rose
For rose it doesn't matter as much what grapes you use, just the process. Though they need to be picked early and when they’re still tangy and tart. For Rosabelle that means Grenache and Cinsault. These days a paler style of rosé prevails, set by Provençal producers and Rosabelle is cut from that cloth.

Swimbad Rose
Rosé is the tipple of the tempting whether we are in Touraine, Tempe, Tuscaloosa, Tuscany or Saint-Tropez. Provence, the archetypal French vacationland, is the poster child for what modern rosé ought to be. Pale, quenching, lip-smacking.

Villa Gaubert Rose
It’s rosé season because it’s warm and getting warmer and rosés are cold and citrusy and tangy and refreshing and, well, once they’re properly cold, they’re delicious. Did I mention that they need to be cold? Dominique Haverlan bought the old Château Gaubert in Portets in 1988, which was then in ruins. He made it into something important, but he didn’t’ forget to make wine that you will want to drink at a reasonable velocity. That’s what rosé is.

La Culottee Rose
This 100% Caladoc wine is barrel-fermented, though it is still recognizably rosé in style. Needless to say, barrel-fermented rosé is anomalous anywhere, much less in southern France. The barrels are over-sized, and the wine has no added sulfur or added yeast. Dry, clean and rather full for a rosé, you can nonetheless drink it chilly on a sunny day, just like you would the rest of the rosés you’re slamming this summer.

Lou Pichoun Rose
Hailing from an area where the days are Mediterranean warm but the high altitude makes for much cooler nights as air from the Alps descends into the vineyards. Lou Pichoun has the look and feel of Provençal rosé, yet it's a bit lighter and airier.

Larme en Rose
If you stick around the wine business long enough, you’ll have seen it all. Where once wine coolers were cooler than Liebfraumilch, now hard seltzer is hot (served cold). White Zin was once de rigeur, though it was never French; it was from the good ol’ US of A. But then that became too sweet and the category died. Or seemed to. Because then rosé rose up like a zombie eager for fresh meat, though the current iteration of the pink stuff is more often French than not. Provence is the epicenter of it and the French have figured out how we like it: dry, pale pink, light and refreshing.

Chateau Landreau Cuvee La Roseau
In the 1950s, two families joined forces; the Carreaus as vineyard experts and the Bayles as winemakers, but they had both been in their respective business for more than a century. They’ve since collected more vineyards from the family and from neighbors, including Château Landreau in 1995, a 40-acre estate in Côtes de Bourg with red clay soils and a view of the Gironde River. This is 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon and very, very classic.

Mission St Vincent Cremant Rose
Why shouldn’t Bordeaux make sparkling wine? They make all other styles of wine extremely well. And this one is made just the same way they do it in Champagne and it’s maybe a touch drier.

Balcon sur la Mer Rose
The first time I ever saw this bottle and tried the wine, I kinda felt like I was transported onto a luxurious vacation. Someplace like Saint Barths. But I'm not paying and someone is just pouring me lovely rosé in infinite quantities as my feet rest in the sand. Balcon delivers everything you want in a great rosé in spades. This unctuous pink wine is dry, stony, fruity, lengthy. Comprised of Grenache, Grenache Gris and Mourvedre.

Robert Goulley Chablis
Chablis over the last few years has enjoyed the best of times and the worst of times, and sometimes at the same time. The 2022 vintage was badly damaged by frost, though the hail that hit much of Burgundy spared Chablis. The result was a smaller crop than anyone had hoped, but what was there was super concentrated. Many small growers, even with generations behind them, like Robert Goulley, have seen disruption. We’re lucky to have some
