The Chteau de Selle sits on a limestone slope in the forested inland reaches of Provence. The soil is nearly half rock and the sun is intense, an imposing landscape for cultivating anything,
yet this ros is one of the most elegant we tasted from the vintage
. The concentration of the fruit comes through in the wines luxurious satin texture, while the flavors remain restrainedhints of melon, lemon and red cherry highlighting its earthy savor. Its very pale, but dont let the hue fool you: Its structured and mineral, a firm ros that wouldnt be out of place atLe Bernardin.
