Greg Hughes rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

This is not only a tasty rosé at a good pricepoint, but one from an interesting region.
This is a wine from Fronton, where the wines generally tend to revolve around Negrette; a dark skinned varietal introduced by ancient Greek viticulture. It is related to the Mavro varietal family and it tastes similar. Lots of dark prilune and blueberry are pretty cpmmon remarks on it.
When made into a rosé, in this case with Gamay to maintain fresh acidity, it brings deep colour and soft fruit.
Pleasantly soft acidity, a deep burnished pink.
Flavours of squashed cherry, red plum, currant, raspberry, and green herbs.
This is a great one to stock up with for summer sipping, at the cottage.
Pair this with crab legs and old bay.

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
