Les Pierres 

2019 Provence, France

30% Cinsault, 60% Grenache,10% Syrah.

Summer is here and it’s time to smell the Rose’!
There is a legend saying that the stones used to build the base of the Statue of Liberty in New York were coming from clearing a path in the Provence region.  To honor this legend, a unique version of this famous monument was built in the village of Saint-Cyr-sur-Mer in 1913.
Just a few miles down the road from the winery.

Vive la liberte! 

 

Our Thoughts on this wine... 
The producer is small and does not submit her wine for review as she sells out of it every year anyway. 
Light garnet in color, it shows notes of ripe strawberry, blackberry and a hint of spicy currant.
Pale salmon-pink, the nose is aromatic and powerful with peach and spice notes. 
Amazing fullness and freshness on the palate, definitely a complex and well-structured wine. 
Pleasant flavors of ripe red berries, spice and floral notes.
Dry and rich with a nice harmonious and supple finish.

A bit about Côtes de Provence ……

Cotes de Provence is an extensive but valuable appellation that includes vineyards bordering the main Provencal appellations.
Its sites vary from subalpine hills, which receive the cooling effects of the mountains to the north,
to the coastal St-Tropez, a region mainly influenced by the warm Mediterranean sunshine.
It is the largest AOC in the region, and the biggest producer with about 75% of wine production 
(of which 89% is Rosé), and is also the most diverse in soil and climate.
Because of the region’s size, there are a variety of influences at work: differences in climate, altitude of vineyards, soils and rainfall, for example, can be so varied that there’s actually a difference of 60 days between the start of harvest in the southern coastal vineyards and their cooler, inland counterparts.
There are four geographical “Sub Regions” in the Côtes de Provence, and they’re easy to identify as they are allowed to add their names to the label - Sainte-Victoire, La Londe, Fréjus, and Pierrefeu.
Each of these sub-regions has distinct characteristics that affect the grapes and wines made in them.
