France – Rosé – 2008 – 12%
Region: South-west France
Producer: Les Grands Chais de Saint Laurent
Label: Sébastien Chabal XXL
So, couldn’t resist buying this Rosé because it had that fantastically distinctive rugby player Sébastien Chabal on the label. Can’t imagine he had a lot to do with the making of this wine but he certainly helped sell me a bottle. It wasn’t good, sharply bitter raspberries with little length, an unpleasant finish and not the refreshing character you expect from a rosé. Won’t buy it again but still a fan of Chabal.
