Bonjour to all on and off the island...wish we were there, to those that are. I have been on the hunt for my favorite rosé, Château des Marres 2S, which we first discovered at Nikki Beach Saint-Barth. I found a magnum in a very friendly NYC wine store, from whom I have ordered other wines before, and they are checking for the 750 ml size. They are the only shop in America that actually has it at all, so I will order the magnum. It is a rather pricey rosé, but I really like it. The nice guys at the shop gave me the name of an importer of another wine, having asked them to recommend something close to the style. The importer to whom I spoke recommended one called Sulauze Pomponette. Do any of you know it? (Kevin is my go to expert in this area!) It is very inexpensive, as a bonus! But I don't know if it is good, however. I have had most of the better known rosés, as even Costco sells some, but I guess I am looking for something a little different. Domaine Ott has some pretty good ones, depending upon what one you find.
Here is the website description for the Château des Marres 2S. They are in Ramatuelle, close to St Tropez.
Its very pale color with pearly reflections is very luminous.
Soft attack on aromas of white peaches developing on an exceptional finesse, where power, length and acidity balance perfectly. The finish is particularly persistent on mineral notes.
Nose:
First nose: White fruits, floral.
Second nose: Citrus fruits, spices.
I am wondering if anyone could please suggest a similar wine available in the US that can ship to California.
If you have any other suggestions for a really nice rosé, please feel free to respond! Many thanks in advance!
