This 2021 Coteaux d’Aix en Provence Rosé from Château Paradis is a delightful expression of its sun-drenched terroir, scoring a well-deserved 91 points from the International Wine Report. With a vibrant bouquet of ripe strawberries, delicate florals, and a hint of citrus zest, it invites you into a refreshing sip that balances crisp acidity with a silky texture. The palate reveals layers of juicy watermelon and subtle herbal notes, making it a versatile companion for summer gatherings or leisurely picnics. Pair this wine with grilled shrimp, fresh salads, or a light goat cheese platter, and you’ll find it’s not just a delightful sip, but a smart buy for the quality it delivers, especially given its original retail price of $40.
