Other Reviews….
A new estate under the Chapoutier umbrella, Roc Folassiere is located between Avignon and Nîmes and covers 35 hectares of limestone and shale soils.
The light pink/salmon colored 2016 Côtes du Rhône Rose comes all from Grenache. It offers lots of citrus blossom, melon and spice, medium-bodied richness, vibrant acidity and a clean finish. It's a terrific, classic dry Rose to drink over the coming 3-5 months.
