Gris Blanc Rose 2022 750ml
★★★★★ 5.0 (1 review)Pour this and you'll do a double-take. It's so pale it looks almost white in the glass, a whisper of blush with a silvery shimmer. Then you taste it: wild strawberry, white peach, a zip of grapefruit and a tiny, almost ticklish spritz on the tongue. Bone dry, light, properly cold. This is the bottle for a long lazy evening, a sundowner on the balcony, or anything off the grill. Say the word and we'll have it at your door before the ice melts.
Stick your nose in and it's summer fruit straight away. Raspberry and strawberry, a soft brush of peach, a twist of citrus zest and a little white-flower lift. On the palate it's crisp and clean, redcurrant and pink grapefruit, with a faint pearly fizz that makes it feel alive rather than flat. It finishes dry with a fresh, almost salty snap, so you immediately want the next sip. No sweetness, no heaviness, nothing to overthink.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This comes from Gérard Bertrand, a former pro rugby captain turned one of the South of France's biggest wine names, working out of the sun-soaked Languedoc. The clever bit is in the name. "Gris Blanc" means grey-white, and that's exactly the trick: the red Grenache grapes are pressed straight away with no skin-soaking, so almost no colour bleeds in. That's the old "vin gris" method, and it's why this looks barely pink while still tasting like rosé. Cool fermentation and a few weeks resting on the lees keep all that delicate fruit locked in.
