Here we are in Bonnieux, north
side of the Luberon, in Provence, and most likely, you will have seen the movie by Ridley Scott – A good year - with the "Gladiator" Crowe, who plays
the role of a broker in the City.
Well, many scenes were filmed
right in this estate, organic since over 30 years.
Given the success of the movie,
of course, to us simple mortals, the estate closed to the visits, even though many people tried - and they are still going on today, undeterred - to climb over the
high wall.
Instead the visits are much appreciated, at the nearby wine shop.
The wine is
not that of the movie,
but a successful mariage rosé between Syrah (70%) and
Grenache (30%).
The nose, intense and elegant, with tangerine and peach,
always inevitable red berries - currants,
strawberries and raspberries
- with floral puffs,
while the spice is a little hidden.
The first
impression on the palate is
a Big Babol sour
- not consider it
reprehensible, but the exact opposite
– having a lascivious
drink. In addition, the other fine qualities of a good rosé: freshness, not
too much fruit, right vinosity. Three elements
of a sip really
balanced.
The end is floral and slightly
spicy, not very persistent,
coming from a bottle that, in four persons, lasted a blink!
Ah, those French, they make
good rosés.
