Tasting: Chateau Montauriol Rigaud

Name: Chateau Montauriol Rigaud Corbieres Rose
Variety: Grenache Syrah
Region: Corbieres
Country: France
Year: 2016
Price: $7.95 at Vintage Cellar, Regular $15

Shop Review: The white raspberry and peach notes have a creamy but fresh profile in this rosé. Hints of spice and apricot meld together on the lingering finish.


My Review: On the nose this wine displays wonderful smells including light berries, rose petals, and bubblegum. From the smell you almost expect this wine to be sweet, however it is quite the opposite coming off quite mild in flavor. I did get a dryness that was zesty with a very light indistinct apple flavor. This wine left me wanting more from it in terms of flavor.
This wine was not tasted with food.
