Domaine Gavoty Cotes de Provence Rose 'Grand Classique' 2024

Gavoty’s “Grand Classique” combines roughly two-thirds Cinsault and one-third Grenache, with Carignan playing a minor role which varies based on the vintage’s character. Rather than being pressed immediately after harvest by rote as many Provence rosés are, “Grand Classique” macerates for several hours before pressing, and the saignée and first-press juice are vinified separately. “Grand Classique” displays an uncanny equilibrium, with racy acidity wed to gleaming fruits that are just the right amount of vinous, all buttressed by a mouthwatering texture that speaks both to domaine’s healthy fruit and to Roselyn’s consummate blending skills.
