- In the video, Bob Paulinski, Master of Wine discusses Provence Rose' from the 2023 vintage. A couple of the top wines are tasted and reviewed. In addition, wine shopping tips are provided to help you get the most out of your purchase.
Key tips when shopping for Provence Rose',
1) Many of the new releases will hit store shelves about six months after the vintage, the 2023 in this video will be in stores over the coming weeks
2) Buy the most current vintage, one or two years from the vintage is ideal
3) store the wines in a cool, dark area to minimize the impact of UV light (clear bottles are most susceptible to UV light)
4) A dozen different grape varieties are allowed, but a handful are most important
5) Grenache provides much of the structure
6) Syrah adds depth, weight and concentration
7) Mourvedre lends a spice element
8) Cinsaut lifts the aroma and adds acidity
9) Rolle, a white grape is sometimes used to lift the acidity and freshness on the palate
10) Serve the wine well-chilled, ideal with rich seafoods and tomato based seafood dishes
Two wines were tasted in this video:
2023 Chateau de Berne Inspiration Rose', approximate retail $20 USD
2023 Ultimate Provence Rose', approximate retail $24 USD
Both have international distribution. Search at a specialty retailer or good online source. The new vintage is just making its way into the market.

Off to an Alto Adige tasting! Marking the video to watch tonight. Cheers!
You’ll be drinking well!
Wonderful review and information thank you.
Thanks for commenting. Much appreciated. 🍷
Give me a pink wine any warm day…love Provence rose. Thank you!!
And it’s getting to be that time of year!
Yes!! The cork toss is back, lol. The haircut looks great as well. I was wondering earlier what to have tonight and now I’m thinking Rose sounds great.
Yep, the cork toss is back, likely to stay! Fresh haircut. 😂😂
Great video, thanks for the lesson. I needed it. And the cork toss 😂😂.
Much appreciated. Thanks for commenting. 👍
Im off to Bandon next week so looking forward to trying some rosé.
Get your fill of rose’. Safe travels!
Love the roses from Bandol. Domaine Bunan’s Mas de la Rouviere which is a mouvedre heavy blend. It avoids the bubblegum crowd pleasing lightness of some of the trendy roses like Whispering Angel
Same here, that’s a beauty. Mourvèdre brings the magic!
Great video as usual! Will have to look for these bottles
Much appreciated. The wines are just coming into the market. Good rose’.
I need to find some decent Provence rosé in my area. Most of it is okay, drinkable, enjoyable, but just not made to impress. The spiciness you've mentioned sounds like a trait that adds to the standard style. I've had Miraval and Whispering Angel within reach many times but I've always thought they'd probably be hyped and not too big of a value. What would you recommend?
(The Alto Adige wines were rather nice indeed btw)
Miraval and Whispering Angel, very much over hyped. If you can find either in my video, especially the Ultimate Provence, you’ll be in good company. As for your tasting, no surprise!
@@bobpaulinskimasterofwine I'll dig into shops!
@@juanmanuelmunozhernandez7032 The ‘23 is just now being released.
My favorite Provence Rosé food pairing is with Branzino, which for me has been the equivalent to enjoyment to Ribeye paired with Cabernet Sauvignon/Bordeaux Red.
When prepared simply without too much high heat, the Mediterranean Sea Bass can range from moderate-light to moderate-strong fish oil flavors, which play well to the wine's pleasing acidity and abiity to stand up to the fish's inherent flavors.
I can see that working well. Sounds very good!
My favourite combination so far has been in summertime, pork with rosé wine 😊
That works! 👍 Rose’ with smokey bacon is high on my list, but I shouldn’t be eating bacon. 🥓
@@bobpaulinskimasterofwine 😂😂 I seem to remember you saying something similar in a video quite some time ago, which cracked me up 😂😂
@@lauracanna2201 I think that’s right!
i was at total wine here in the boston, ma. area today and saw a huge display of new to the store rose wines from france.
this display was under halogen lights as are a lot of other display wines in white or light green bottles. i have to think that
the light strike has to be damaging to these wines even before anyone can purchase one or more for personal use.
any chance, bob that you can do a video on light damage? it's a subject that needs to be brought to the forefront.
If the wines sat under that sort of lighting for an extended time (weeks or months) it would be cause for concern. At Total, they generally have good turnover. Many of the wines will go from a cardboard carton to a display, then out the door quickly. That said, some wines will turn much slower. As for your video idea, I like it. I have an idea that could illustrate the impact.
Chateau de Berne also has a great 5 Star Spa Hotel with a beautiful terrace restaurant.
That is my optimal Rosé Pairing ;)
I know it’s a posh place, but I’ve not been there personally. Sounds like you have. Optimal pairing. 👍
For me Rose is a refrishing summer drink.
For food, i much rather want a light red or a white wine.
It’s good there are plenty of options!
Which ones should improve with age?
The top two from this video would be the Lanessan and Dalem. Easily another five years for both.
I really can't get on with rosé. I keep trying examples from different parts of the world, including, of course, Provence. But, no, it does absolutely nothing for me. I bought a couple of bottles last summer from, I think, Portugal, and drank one, or half of one, and gave the other away. I will keep trying from time to time but I fear it will remain a blindspot for me.
Top bottlings from Provence can be very good. If it’s not for you, the wine world has plenty of other options!
I appreciate the light damage concern, but the visual prettiness of rosé is a big part of the appeal for me.
Give me a bright rosé on a patio with charcuterie anytime.
With charcuterie, winning combo!
Suggesting people store the wine in the dark is facile. By the time they have purchased it it is already light-struck unless it has come from a closed carton. Putting wines like this in plain glass is about as stupid as corks in the bottles instead of stelvin.
In my opinion, light strike is not an all or nothing matter. There are many factors that come into play. As for your point on the bottle closure, I agree 100%.
