TASTING NOTE: Chateau d’Esclans has
rather taken the world of rosé wine by
storm ... Quality throughout really is
terrific, not least in Whispering Angel,
probably their most popular wine and a
stunner year after year. Indeed, each
Christmas I publish my ‘Wines of the
Year’, in which I name just one favourite
wine from a whole year’s drinking in
seven different categories. Last year the
Rosé category was scooped by the 2014
vintage of Whispering Angel, and I have
to say this 2015 is every bit as good. It’s
a delicate, shimmering, but personalitypacked pink with grapefruit and hints of
peachiness against riveting acidity in a
super-fresh, gastronomic but deliciously
quaffable style, and it really is a
Provence benchmark. (Tom Cannavan,

STORY
With a diversity of quality
wines as vast as the
landscape, the South of France
serves up an enticing feast
for the senses.

a steep slope in Provence. OPPOSITE, FAR RIGHT:

attractions in the town of Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
2 VINTAGES
The vast, beautiful expanse that encompasses the
South of France offers wine lovers such diversity that it’s
impossible to sum it all up in any convenient, uncomplicated
way. But there are guideposts to help steer you through
these wonderful wines. When considering wines from the
Southwest, Languedoc, Roussillon, the Rhône and
Provence, remember: these are food-friendly,
approachable, quality wines that offer great value.

QUALITY
ASSURANCE
A concerted raising of the bar has put
the South of France’s wines in the
world spotlight.
Across the South of France there have
always been pockets of premium-quality
winemaking, but for many years, the greater
emphasis was on quantity over quality, and
the production of generic bulk wines for the
domestic market dominated. Very recently,
an increasing appetite among producers to
create wines of provenance has corresponded
with focused investment from the EU and
utterly changed the winemaking landscape
here. Producers have raised the quality and
the tone of their wines, employing better
vineyard management, site selection,
trellising, grape selection and a
renewed rigour in all aspects of winemaking. The results have been astounding.
For wine lovers across the globe, the
explosion of quality, value and consistency
– not to mention the great diversity of
expression – now found across the South
of France represents an exciting, nearly
unlimited opportunity for discovery.

TASTING NOTE: ... The most obvious chink
in this wine’s armour is its potential longevity – I know it will roll along for a few years,
but it will not stand a chance of making the
long run ... Aside from this, Les Epices is
made from old vines and it also sees a
decent slug of oak. I realise that it is not
from a highly fashionable part of the wine
world ... but leaving geography aside this is
a spectacularly aromatic, earthy, flavourpacked Syrah with a great finish. It is far
superior to loads of Northern Rhône Syrahs
at two or three times the price so load up!

balanced with a touch of spritz. Crafted in
a light, fruity style with great fruit flavours.
Superb value. Enjoy with seafood dishes.
(VINTAGES panel, July 2015)
TASTING NOTE: Powerful tannins are the
hallmark of this dense wine, hardly surprising considering the blending of Malbec and
Tannat. The wine also has the concentrated
fruit to go with the structure, with its black
plum and dark berry flavors. Structure and
fleshy fruit are coming together well, just
needing time. Drink from 2018. Editors’
Choice. Score: 92 (Roger Voss, Wine
Enthusiast, Feb. 2016)
TASTING NOTE: This is a broad, rich blend
of Duras and Braucol with a little Syrah
thrown in. It is ripe, with black fruits and
balanced tannins that give structure but do
not dominate. A smoky character from
wood aging rounds it out. Drink from 2016.

Apple trees blossom at the edge of
a still-dormant vineyard near Hérault.
The sun-drenched vineyards of the South of France
are home to such a wealth of grape varieties, and
so varied are the regions and wines produced here,
that it’s impossible to capture it all in a short summary.
Suffice it to say, if you love wine, becoming familiar
with the South of France is a must.
The Southwest can be considered more similar
to Bordeaux than to the Rhône, sharing principal
varieties such as Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon,
Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Malbec with
its famous neighbour. Across the remainder of
southern France, regions are united by many
common threads, such as Grenache, Carignan,
Mourvèdre, Syrah and Cinsault for the reds and
Grenache Blanc, Clairette, Roussanne and
Marsanne for whites.
SOUTHERN
STYLE
What’s your pleasure?
Southern France’s delicious
wines run the gamut from big
and bold to light and fresh.
White wines are primarily dry, richly textured and
full-flavoured, but many places do craft versions
that emphasize freshness and crispness, as well as
producing fine late-harvest or botrytized sweet
wines. For lovers of red wine, the South of France
offers up everything from the intensely flavoured,
tannic Malbec-based wines of Cahors to the soft,
round blends of the Rhône valley, and everything
in between.
The South of France is famous for rosé wines,
and those crafted in Provence (France’s oldest
winemaking region) are considered the benchmark expression for fruity, dry rosé wines –
little wonder; Provence winemakers have been
perfecting rosés for over 2,600 years.

As someone who has been spending every summer there since 1989,
I particularly treasure the variety of different styles of wine produced in
the Languedoc ... from surprisingly delicate fizz from Limoux to some
thoroughly satisfying sweet Muscats.
CHÂTEAU SAINT-ROCH CHIMÈRES
2014
AP Côtes du Roussillon-Villages, Midi
(Domaine Lafage)
TASTING NOTE: The 2014 Côtes du
Roussillon Villages Chimeres is mostly
Grenache, yet includes 30% Syrah and
10% Mourvèdre. Aged in a combination of
concrete tank and demi-muid, it makes the
most of this difficult vintage and has terrific
purity in its raspberry, violet, licorice and
olive-laced aromas and flavors. Ripe, nicely
textured and with bright acidity, drink it
over the coming 4-5 years. Drink: 20152020. Score: 90-92 (Jeb Dunnuck,

l’Ermite is a rock star blend of Carignan,
Grenache and Syrah (aged all in barrel)
that sports awesome purity in its black
cherry-like fruits, spring flowers, sappy
underbrush and subtle minerality. Mediumbodied, upfront and silky, this is a finesse
driven beauty to enjoy over the coming 4-5

TASTING NOTE: Rich and smoky on the
nose, with plum, cherry, blueberry and
earth tones. The palate is plush and robust
with great structure, depth and complexity.
Fruit-driven, with nice lift and a well-integrated oak. Warm and smoky on the finish.
TASTING NOTE: The nose is quite impressive, with notes of raspberry, black cherry
and spice. The palate offers good balance,
density and concentration with a sweet
core of raspberry midpalate and a spicy
finish. Nice elegance and a great value.
(VINTAGES panel, Nov. 2015)
TASTING NOTE: Powerfully rendered, with
layers of dark fig, blackberry and boysenberry fruit allied to a strong, racy graphite
spine. Ganache, licorice and plum sauce
notes fill in through the finish. Shows plenty
of heft but this drapes wonderfully. Best
from 2015 through 2030. Score: 92

Just about any wine lover not living in a cave is aware
of the explosion of Provençal rosé in recent years …
with this recent boom comes the best quality yet –
the wines are fresh, bright and pure. And rosé from
Provence is among the most consistent categories
I taste every year …

LOCAL
TALENT
YOU COULD SAY THAT
rosé exists somewhere
between the worlds of
elegant red wines (think
Gamay or Pinot Noir)
and crisp white wines –
two styles that Ontario
does especially well.
CLOCKWISE FROM TOP: The elegant tasting room at
Stratus gives visitors a glimpse of the barrel cellar and
sweeping views of the vineyards. Tawse’s stone
welcome sign speaks to the winery’s melding of traditional
winemaking methods with state-of-the-art technology.
The sleek LEED-certified hospitality pavilion at Southbrook
boasts energy-efficient floor-to-ceiling windows
for maximum natural light. Cabernet Franc grapes.
Is it any wonder, then, that we also produce
fabulous pinks? Featuring brilliant acidity and
bright flavours without all the hefty tannins,
rosés are simply made for summertime and
are almost freakishly food-friendly – more so
than most people think. I asked my colleagues
at Vintages to share their own favourite pinkwine pairings.
My first stop was with Astrid Brummer and
Laura Ruffolo, category manager and product
manager, respectively, for Ontario wines. “Are
you ready for this?” asked Astrid, spreading her
arms and fingers wide in the universal signal of
a mind-blowing pronouncement to follow. “I like
a flavourful rosé with smoky barbecued ribs.”
Think the Wildass Rosé from Stratus Vineyards,
which has bright flavours and a big rush of
acidity. “It’s not the typical match, but the tangy
acidity balances out the smokiness. Delicious.”
“I’ve got to go with roasted chicken with lots
of herbs,” said Laura, nodding sagely. “Like the
wine, it’s flavourful without being heavy, and
just seems to suit warm weather.” Southbrook’s
Triomphe Organic Cabernet Franc Rosé, with
its slightly savoury flavours and good intensity,
would be a great choice.
“Hmm, is there a wrong answer here?” Sean
Adams, product advisor for Ontario wines,
mused. (The unspoken answer being, essentially, no – since our local rosés are so versatile.) “I like to sip a chilled glass on the patio.
As far as food, though, I’d go for burgers
and salad.” In either situation, the substantial
yet lively 13th Street Pink Palette Rosé would
fit the bill nicely.
“You might think this is weird,” began Paul
Farrell, category manager for European wines
(he prefaces quite a few of his statements
this way), “but, I prefer them with grilled lamb.
Rosés with bright acidity, like classic examples
from France and many of the bright, dry versions
from Ontario,” such as the Tawse Sketches of
Niagara Rosé, “cut through the meaty, gamey
flavours and freshen up the palate – a bit like
mint does.”
‘‘
‚‚
... with Ontario rosé,
there really is no
wrong answer.
Personally, I find Ontario rosés make happy
partners for chicken fajitas, or grilled stuffed bell
peppers, or barbecued white pizza with garlic
and herbs and a blend of two or three (or five)
of your favourite cheeses. Any of the wines
featured here would complement these foods.
But, hey, these are just some ideas to get you
started. As my colleagues reminded me, with
Ontario rosé, there really is no wrong answer.

TASTING NOTE: From a former rock-star

sweet cider is produced from the fruit of apple
trees more than 50 years old. Tones of baked apple
drizzled with honey beg to be paired with warm
apple pie à la mode. Don’t let the sweetness fool

LAMBRUSCO DI SORBARA 2014
DOC, Emilia-Romagna, Italy
TASTING NOTE: Lambrusco di Sorbara, the
popular sparkling red, comes from the EmiliaRomagna region in northern Italy, which was
awarded its DOC status in 1970. This example is
loaded with the characteristic strawberry and
cherry aromas and flavours, with a subtle earthy
complexity adding nice depth. Refreshing,
balanced and well made, this is a great example
of the style made from the Sorbara clone, which
is typically drier and more concentrated than other
Lambruscos. Try it with a prosciutto platter.
(VINTAGES panel, Oct. 2015)
TASTING NOTE: This blend of four noble white
varieties brings to the fore some of the unique
characteristics of each, including the floral
character of Gewürztraminer and Riesling, the ripe
orchard fruit of Chardonnay, and the freshness
of Sauvignon Blanc. Just off dry, notes of peach,
melon, citrus zest and spice are framed by fine
acidity, while residual sweetness manifests on the
fresh, fruity finish. Serve this value-packed beauty
with pan-fried white fish. Score: HHHHK (Susan

with 5% of the Riesling and 5% of the Pinot Noir

Unlike the majority of Rioja wines, which are

World-famous and beloved, Chianti is crafted in central Tuscany, and from
the heart of this celebrated region comes Chianti Classico. The 2013 Scopeto
pulses with notes of red fruit, cherry and strawberry, with an elegantly framed
spice beating at the core. A pretty wine that’s sure to inspire an atmosphere
of perfect warmth and affection.
