Mas Carlot Générations Rosé Costières de Nîmes 2024

A 17th century estate reborn under the Rhône sun, Mas Carlot rises from the ancient stone-strewn plains southeast of Nîmes. Cyril Mares guides this treasure in Costières de Nîmes, a region once caught between identities, now crafting wines that pulse with Mediterranean sunlight.

This Grenache-dominant rosé, lifted by Syrah and a touch of Cinsault, is Provence's spirited cousin. Pale as a seashell, yet crackling with energy. Wild strawberries bursting like summer rain, electric pink grapefruit zest, and a dusting of tomato vine leaves. The palate unfolds with rhubarb tartness over wild strawberry jam, flinty minerality.

Rosé this vivid deserves year-round devotion. Pair it with grilled shrimp drizzled in saffron rouille, a slate of tapenade and whipped goat cheese.
