Gilles Gasq has had an impressive run lately, having begun producing a dynamite Châteauneuf-du-Pape in addition to his always-reliable offerings from the Côtes du Rhône and the Plan de Dieu. His Côtes du Rhône Rosé, comprising 50% Grenache, 40% Mourvèdre, and 10% Syrah, is produced solely via direct-press and aged in stainless steel on its fine lees for several months before bottling. It offers bright, friendly strawberry fruit, gentle but well-measured acidity, and an underlying freshness not often found in the rosés of the southern Rhône. The domaine has been certified organic for over a decade at this point, and the already-expert Gilles continues to hone his approach to great effect.
