“These are the best-value rosés I’ve ever come across.” - Tamlyn Currin (on the two rosés produced by Chateau Ollieux Romanis)

A wonderful, dry Languedoc rosé, made with real integrity by Pierre Bories, who can fairly be accused of doing everything properly. The property has been converted to organic farming and is in conversion to biodynamics with hundreds of trees and hedges planted to help restore biodiversity and a flock of sheep brought in to graze the vineyards. A healthy soil makes for happy grapes and this wine tastes like it has a smile on its face. It’s pleasingly dry, but succulently juicy, and the fruit tastes like it’s on a bouncy castle, bounding gleefully with yellow plum, strawberry and white nectarine. 12.5% alc. 40% Cinsault, 40% Grenache Noir, 20% Grenache Gris. Drink now-2026.

Press review:

JancisRobinson.com: “Frankly delicious! A festival of orchard fruit so fresh that it tastes as if it’s only just been picked off the trees. Nectarines and apples and oranges with a zap of lime peel. A new-summer-morning kind of wine, glistening with the brightest of sunlit dew. This is a pour-me-another-please wine – if I ran a restaurant (any restaurant) this would be my house rosé, by the glass and bottle. VGV (TC). Drink now-2025.” 16.5 points
