Domaine Du Grand Cros 2024 Jules Méditerranée Rosé Sec ($14.99)

Jules Méditerranée Rosé Sec, is a clear, light gold wine with just a touch of pink. A complex mix of appetizing scents rise from the glass. A breath of white flowers, a whiff of mango and peach, a distinct zing of grapefruit and more elusive aromas swirl and take turns calling for your attention. Flavors bear out the nose’s promise, floral and peachy, with plenty of gentle acidity for balance. 12.5% alcohol. U.S. importer: WineCRAFT, Cincinnati, Ohio. (Aug. 2, 2025)

FOOD MATCH: This versatile rosé works well in many settings: Sipped cool on a hot summer day or served with salads, seafood, fried chicken, barbecue, plant-based Asian cuisine or spicy fare. It was a delight with stuffed green peppers with a dash or two of a mild, gentle chile pepper sauce.

WHEN TO DRINK: Crisp, dry Southern French rosé is never better than when it’s young and fresh. Drink up, and look for the 2025 vintage next year.

VALUE:
This is a lovely and characteristic Provence rososé, well worth its mid-teens price.
