Equally well known for its white, Clos Mireille, close by the Mediterranean, has produced a deliciously balanced, fresh and fruity rosé. The light fruits are dominated by red berries, leading to a crisp finish. 1 Note

Esclans is pushing the envelope of Provence rosé, and this wine shows some pencilly, graphite-like flavors alongside peach and melon fruit. Picks up a rich, white-chocolate note on the finish. 1 Note

This is smoky and minerally upfront, influenced by barrel notes, but there’s also some intense strawberry and raspberry fruit on the palate and a minerally reprise on the concentrated finish. 1 Note

A pale salmon colored rosé, this medium- to full-bodied wine offers scents of honeydew, red berries, peach and crushed stones and flavors to match. The only quibble is that it finishes a little abruptly. This is very good, but consumers should be on the lookout for the fresher 2007. 1 Note

Mature now, with spice, animal and mineral scents that lead to lime and tar notes in the mouth. Lingering, flavorful finish of cedar. Drink before 2011. 1 Note

The Domaines Ott Chateau de Selle is a breed apart, with little of the effusive red fruit that we typically associate with Provence Rosés. The 2008 shows vanilla and butterscotch aromas that lead to a serious, medium-weight palate with good flavor intensity. Winds up on a lingering note of newly-mown hay. Drink now. 1 Note

It’s expensive, but there’s no denying the high quality of this wine. Almost smoky, mineral-like complexity emerges on the nose, followed by hints of cherry fruit underscored by dramatic freshness on the lengthy finish. 1 Note

As befits a Bandol, this rosé has a good depth of flavor, rich and smoothly textured with acidity integrated into a serious and complex wine. The structure and acidity suggest a wine that could age for 2–3 years. 1 Note
