MAGNUM Ferry Lacombe, Naos, Côtes de Provence Rosé, 2020
Naos is a Greek temple or shrine. The Pinot family who run this Château in the Vallée de l’Arc near St-Maximin-la-Ste-Baume. They like Greek names for their wines, perhaps because their vineyards lie in the foothills of Mont Olympe (819m.) and the Monts Auréliens. This is one of their best, from 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah grown on argilo-calcaire soils. Very pale. Enticing, lifted perfume of peaches and rosehips. Generous fruit – red berries, redcurrants and white peach. Silky. Very long finish, marked by a frisson of minerality. So refined. Drink this year
