Mont Tauch (France) Le Village du Sud Rosé 2008
The ever-reliable Mont-Tauch from the Languedoc in southern France are the producers of our first rosé of the season. Well, the sun is shining and Spring is definitely in the air, so why not? This Grenache-based
rosé is delightful stuff with a modest 12% alcohol. There are gentle aromas of raspberry and redcurrant fruit with a little hint of rose-hip. On the palate that delicacy continues, with the racy, pert, red berry fruitiness
in the ascendency, backed-up by just the merest hint of spice and tannin, and the whole picture sharpened by good acidity that leaves the finish crisp and juicy. A very nicely pitched and dry rosé for sipping on its own or matching with
simple chicken or poached salmon dishes. £4.49, The Co-Operative.
