2020 Fleur de Mer Rose
#47-2023
Sometimes Rose is the perfect choice for a diverse dinner table. We recently joined friends for a holiday dinner at a nice restaurant, where the entrees varied from shellfish to heavy salads. Our choice of this French sweetheart was "spot-on" with the variety of presentations on our plates! This "Flower of the Sea" was a real bouquet on our table.
The color is a pale, peachy pink, but the nose in anything but pale, with heady aromas of peach. wild flowers, and a mild citrus breeze. The flavor spectrum is dominated with stone fruit, but has additional swirls of strawberry and watermelon. The finish is crisp and lingering with a summons to hasten back for another renewal of the encounter! The alcohol content is 13%. and Norm's score is 91.
In the summertime this French Rose would be the perfect companion for a picnic basket of cold fried chicken. At the restaurant, try it with Shrimp Scampi or a chilled seafood salad.
score: 91
price : $16 - $20
