CHRISTOPHE AVI AGENAIS ROSE' FRANCE 2024 MARY TAYLOR IMPORTS VINOUS 90 POINTS

Vinous 90 Points

“The 2022 Rosé Christophe Avi Agenais opens with a wildly aromatic display: honeyed florals, cherries, crushed nectarines and exotic spices. It’s round and pliant, almost oily in texture, with ripe orchard fruits propelled by juicy acidity. This leaves a balanced inner sweetness while cleaning up well, with cascading inner florals that resonate.”

This rosé from the lovely Christophe Avi is made from his younger Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon vines.  It offers nuanced notes of minerally orange blossom, wet stone, and lime leaf, with lots of grip.
