Chateau La Gordonne Tete de Cuvee Rosé 2018 Review
This is one hell of an expressive rosé. The nose is crazy unique, with notes of honey and baker’s chocolate dusted with lavender and jasmine. On the palate there is a firm tannic grip swimming in syncopation with vibrant acidity, creating a comfy yogurt-like mouth feel with added aromas of mint and turmeric. Yeah there is a LOT going on here and if you're gonna spend more than you would on a rosé, this is the one. You may wanna buy two bottles cuz sharing may be tough.
