Rosé seemed like the appropriate wine to drink after a 2+ week absence from the flu. And this bottle the 2015 Château Gassier Esprit Gassier is the color of ballet shoes with pretty aromatics that roll out of the glass. White peach, underripe watermelon, a touch of blood orange and loads of minerality. It’s the acidity I like best, which crescendos with aplomb—the persistence here is as breathtaking as it is mouthwatering—a minute on, wet stones, tide pool, salted pink grapefruit. Sample
