Clos du Temple is a very pale and glittering rosé. Its nose reveals notes of ripe fruit (apricot, white peach), floral notes of rose and spicy green pepper aromas. On the palate, we find the same scents, with a delicate finish of blond tobacco.

95 Points James Suckling | Pale salmon color with a copper tinge. A serious rosé with a discreet mineral whiff to the fresh vanilla, tangerines, peaches, thyme, spices and fresh flowers. Full-bodied for rose with a broad structure to it. I love the texture and the creamy, yet fresh mouthfeel, rendering a taut palate with fresh, medium acidity. Flavorful and long. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink now or hold. (2021).
95 Points Decanter | Pale creamy white. Perfumed aromas of lemons and lavender. On the palate, the oak is well integrated, with notes of creamy, honeyed richness and white almonds, opening up to vibrant, ripe red berries and fl oral notes. The palate is intense and powerful with rounded ripe fruit, a well-balanced structure and mouth-watering, salted lemon concentration. Rebellious in terms of pricing and weighty complexity, the wine, despite being released when young, has a strong focus on ageability. (2021).
93 Points Wine Enthusiast | Inviting pomegranate and white lily aromas pop on the nose of this rosé. The palate is plush with rose petal, raspberry sorbet and vanilla flavors. Beautifully balanced with a generous finish. (2021).
92 Points Wine Spectator | Elegant and pure, this brings together floral, wild strawberry and white peach with garrigue and fleur de sel on a seamless palate. Creamy and harmonious, with impressive concentration and good length. Reveals talc-fine mineral notes that bring a pleasing bitter edge. Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah, Viognier and Mourvèdre. Drink now through 2028. (2021).
90 Points Robert Parker | A blend of Syrah, Grenache, Cinsault, Viognier and Mourvèdre, the 2021 Languedoc Cabrières Rosé Clos du Temple was matured for six months in French oak barrels. Evoking aromas of oak, smoke, jasmine, rose petal, gooseberry and spices, it’s tense and fleshy, medium-bodied to full-bodied, lively and rather muscular with a long, fresh finish dominated by oaky notes, which are a little prominent for me at the moment. (2021).
