Wine Details
Pale salmon as all fine Provençal Rosé should be, there's an incredibly pretty nose here full of ripe, fruity cherry and rose petals. Upon entry, excellent minerality is haloed by blood orange, leading into a wonderfully long finish that kicks back with more rose petal flourishes. This is a bigger, more powerful Rosé expression showcasing the fruits' growing elevation and leaner soils.

Cam Confidential
Cam Confidential
Haut Alpes (or “Upper Alps”) lies between the Savoie region to the north and the Mediterranean coast of Provence to the south, situated high up in the Alps mountain range that France shares with seven other countries. A breathtakingly spectacular part of the world, it’s home to valleys lined with apple and pear trees, picturesque houses built on steep hills, and sees the Tour de France pass by its mountains nearly every year.
However, a tiny bit of land up here is also home to vineyards, where a handful of producers make fantastic wines that are mostly enjoyed by either the locals or visitors to the nearby alpine ski resorts. Lot 720 is a beauty that comes to us from vineyard slopes planted about 2000 feet above sea level, and is crafted with Grenache, Cinsault, and Syrah grapes. A true needle-in-a-haystack find.

A nice summer addition to wine selection
Enjoyed this crisp, full-bodied rose. We will continue to enjoy it for the rest of the summer.

Good but not great
It was dry which I enjoyed but it seemed to lack a bit in flavor. It works on a hot summer day but don't expect to be wow'd.

Just ok
This rose was not my favorite. Not bad but not great. I thought it was a little cold but when it warmed up it still didnt have a distinctive taste I was looking for.

Great summer wine
Nice nose when it open of raspberries and strawberries. Matches well with food with nice acidity complementing the fruit. I do love the Provence wines!

Spring/Summer wine for sure
As a standalone wine, I found this light and refreshing, and I could drink this any day. I did do a side-by-side with 719, and preferred the bit more mineral that this didn't.
Still, can't beat it for the price and quality.
