Vintage Cellar Review: "Bright salmon pink; typical of the fresh but warm Provence style. Refined and complex on the nose, with summer fruit and floral notes. Dry and crisp, with delicate flavor and full texture."
My Review: The noticebly bright color of the Sainte Victoire Cotes de Provence was very bold and exciting. The aroma of the wine was very much like a subtle floral perfume and reminded me of walking through a field of various flowers or a outdoor flower shop. The taste was not as intense as the aromatics. At first there were a lot of fruits and it was very light, then the aftertaste was more vegetable and earthy. It was a refreshing and light beverage overall. I was expecting more flavor after such an overwhelming nose. It was a nice wine.
This wine was not paired with food.
