Les Jamelles, Vin de Pays d’Oc (Languedoc, France) 2023

 In its extensive portfolio of wines, Les Jamelles (which was founded in the early 1990s) now offers seven different Rosés.  From its 25+ years of Rosé experience in the Languedoc, the winery created this bottling as its signature.  And the secret part of the name, they say, refers to the use of Mourvèdre added to the typical blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Cinsault.  So, no longer a secret, these four are fermented separately, then blended and aged on the lees for 6 months.  The result is a wine that’s light pink in color and charming.  Rose petal and red berry aromas are bright and lively.  The strawberry flavors sweep across the palate with a touch of citrus and light pepper.  Pleasing, lingering finish.  No secret here; this is an excellent Rosé.
