Elite Rosé Special - Matthew Jukes
2021 Château Saint Baillon Rosé, Côtes de Provence (£15.95 bottle, £34.95 magnum, £99.99 jeroboam, www.finewinedirect.co.uk
"The 2021s are a little more edgy and angular than the slightly richer 2020s, and I like this stance on the palate. Saint Baillon’s ’21 is a touch greener and livelier than usual, and while the trademark melon and pomegranate juice hints are present, there are some invigorating, tangy, citrus moments, too. This is an immensely classy wine, and the value is sensational. Served blind, this could be twice the price given its grace and balance!"
