Without Peer- Lowest Price:
2022 Pascal Cotat Chavignol Rosé

The 2022 rosé is an especially punchy and deeply powerful vintage. The tactile minerality is really gripping in this vintage. The length and overall architecture are formidable.

The Swiss Army Knife of Wine:
2022 Enderle & Moll Pinot Noir-Rosé

The magic is the brightness and freshness of the nose, which make the wine feel like a rosé, while the depth of fruit and soil transparency leave the impression of a red wine.

Utterly Magical: Selosse Brut Rosé

The magic of the rosé is how it combines a penetrating minerality wrapped around a rich, layered complexity.

Without Peer
2021 Pascal Cotat Chavignol Rosé

Every year, we buy as much Pascal Cotat Rosé that we can find. The reason is simple: It is one of the most age-worthy and compelling rosés in existence. Sadly, in 2021, there's a tragically small amount of the wine to go around.

Cotat Rarity
2019 François Cotat Chavignol Rosé

For many rosés, there's a race to drink them within the first year of release. In contrast, Cotat's is in prime form after 6-10 years of age.

"What a wine!"
2002 Dom Pérignon Rosé

At this point, it's clear that the 2002 Dom Pérignon Rosé will go down as one of the absolute greats of all time.

Like No Other:
2019 Tempier Bandol Rosé

It belongs to a very small class of rosés that really flourish in the cellar. It shares this unique status with wines like Château Simone, Cotat, and Valentini's Cerasuolo. Catching a Tempier with 5 or more years of age is delightful.

My Go-To Rosé:
2019 La Fete du Rosé

La Fete du Rosé is the real deal.

This gorgeous, classic Provençal wine delivers everything that I want from a serious rosé.

Piedmont Elite, Rosé Edition:
2019 Nervi-Conterno Il Rosato

Roberto Conterno is simply a force of nature and one of the most talented people working in wine today.

As the summer heat rages here, I'm happy to offer Conterno's incredibly refreshing and expertly crafted rosé.

Stand Alone Rosé:
2019 Pradeaux Bandol Rosé

There are very few wines like Pradeaux being made in France today. Pradeaux is uncompromisingly old school.

Their Bandol Rosé is one of the most structured, complex, and ageable examples of the category. 

The Can't Miss Rosé:
2019 Chene Bleu Vaucluse Rosé

Chêne Bleu is my go-to rosé.

I've never encountered a rosé that's such a sure thing. Everyone I recommend Chêne Bleu to loves it and comes back for more.

200 Meters From The Mediterranean:
2019 Bagnol Cassis Rosé

Every year, Bagnol's Cassis is among the first rosés to sell out.

The explanation is simple: it delivers everything that you could ask for from a Provençal rosé. 

The Cool-Climate Back Up the Truck!
2019 Seehof Pinot Noir Rosé

Rosé is, in a way, one of the simplest wines of the vinous world. This is also what makes getting it perfect so hard. With rosé, the message has to be immediate, direct, dazzling, and refreshing. You should want the next glass before you’re even done with the one you have.

"Tremendous depth and pure class” - Revisited:
2008 Philipponnat Clos des Goisses Juste Rosé

Clos des Goisses is widely considered one of the greatest vineyards in Champagne. It's been produced since 1935. The terroir is so extraordinary that it rarely missed a vintage over the years. In 1999, the first rosé was released from Clos des Goisses. It immediately became one of the region's most sought after wines.

Cotat Rarity: 2018 François Cotat Chavignol Rosé

The last time that we were able to offer François Cotat’s Rose was in 2015. This is one of the most compelling examples of what rosé wine is capable of, and that goes a long way to explain its cult following.

Transcending Boundaries: Enderle & Moll Ghost Wine

Enderle & Moll's Pinot Noir Rosé transcends the normal boundaries of what one might expect in a rosé. You can put this wine on the same hallowed short-list as wines like Cotat’s Chavignol rosé, Chateau Simone, Lopez de Herediá’s Tondonia rosé and Valentini’s quirky yet beautiful Cerasuolo. That helps explain why we're doing a rosé offer in February.

2017 Pascal Cotat Chavignol Rosé

Pascal Cotat's Rosé occupies a very special place. Few, if any, rosés age better or with more elegance. We've had bottles with 10 and even 20 years of age that have blown us away. The 2002 is a legendary bottle around here. It's obvious that the world has taken notice. Finding Pascal Cotat's
