Pale pink and delicate. Notes of small wild berries mingle on the nose with a hint of juniper. This spicy touch supports a palate built on liveliness reminiscent of exotic citrus fruit. The whole is harmonious, clean and refreshing.

40% Grenache, 30% Cinsault, 15% Syrah, 5% Mourvèdre, 10% Rolle
Produced from the younger vines of the estate with some fruit purchased from neighboring grape growers to bring more complexity. Harvest takes place at night to preserve acidity. On arrival at the winery, fruit is immediately destemmed and pressed in a closed tank. A 24h cold settling is followed by the alcoholic fermentation in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks. This very accessible rosé is an excellent introduction to the Peyrassol style with its intense fruitiness and delicate style.
Vinous: 90 Points
Deep, glistening amber-pink in the glass, the 2023 Rosé Les Commandeurs is expressive and especially pretty, with an engaging bouquet of ripe pear, honeysuckle, baked apple and sweet spices. Well-proportioned, it strikes a fine balance of suppleness, juiciness and grip, propped up against a backdrop of typical Provençal salinity. All this is missing is some depth through the mid-palate—it's just a little ethereal. A pleasant vanilla nuance shows up right at the tail end, rendering this a little creamier than expected. Lovely. This is a fine effort.
