Rosé 12% ABV ABV Roubine

New favourite rosé
Saw this on a menu in Brighton and fell in love with it. It's so expressive on the nose, you can smell it as soon as it's poured. Dry, fresh, proper grown-up rosé. Ordered a case online when I got home — perfect for the garden when it finally stops raining.

Great with food
The guy at the wine shop recommended this when I said I wanted a rosé that could handle a proper meal. He was right — had it with a roast chicken and it held up really well. More structured than I expected from a pink wine.

Solid Provence rosé
Had this at a restaurant and liked it enough to track down a bottle. It's got more going on than most rosés I've tried — there's actual depth to it rather than just being pink water. At £23 it's not cheap for a weeknight but fair for the quality.

Summer in a glass
Picked this up for a barbecue and it was the star of the afternoon. Really dry and crisp, none of that sickly sweet rosé nonsense. The acidity keeps it fresh and it went brilliantly with grilled prawns. Would definitely buy again.

Birthday treat that delivered
My wife got this for my birthday dinner and wow, it's properly good. Light at 12% so you can have a couple of glasses without writing off your evening, but it tastes like they actually put effort into making it. Really aromatic when you pour it, smells gorgeous.

Expected more from a Cru Classé
It's fine. Clean, balanced, does what a Provence rosé should do. But for a Cru Classé estate at nearly £23 I wanted something that would blow me away and it didn't quite get there. Pleasant enough but I wouldn't rush to rebuy.

Nice but a bit pricey
It's a good rosé, clean and well balanced, but I'm not sure it's £23 good. I've had Provence rosés at £12-15 that I enjoyed just as much. That said, the finish is lovely and it doesn't have that weird bitter aftertaste some rosés get.
