I'm not a big rose guy but I think that makes me much more qualified to pick them out. The harshest 2018 Domaine Berlancourt Bourgogne Rose for $27.99 a bottle on a 4-pack. I think this is one of the the greatest roses in the world. I love Simone but this is Pinot Noir. It's a whole different ballgame. It's from painfully low yields and a dedicationI've seen in few winemakers.

critics usually make the best recommendations. At Fass Selections we have two roses that really stand above. And one hasn't even gotten its own e-mail yet. This is the first ever stand alone e-mail for a Rose in our seven year history. The other rose that is mega famous at Fass Selections is the Enderle & Moll Spätburgunder Rose which is allocated and today's wine used to be.

What a nose. Stunning. Wet earth, so pure. Flower petals, roses, tangerine. cherry fruit, strawberry, so delicate but deep and so savory, earthy and feral. Some tea notes, orange zest and huge mineraltiy. Also saline notes develop with air. It's super complex as one can tell. You get the picture.

Gorgeous palate that is dense and structured but again so delicate and pure. Lithe structure and cherry fruit like a ballerina on the palate. Very dense and very juicy. Long and complex and finishes savory and mineral. Terrific. Floral and hauntingly elegant with saturating Pinot fruit that is so clearly defined. Also hints of that lovely Puligny iodine. So well made. A cerebral rose if there ever was one. Juicy and concentrated with terrific power and minerality. Long, mineral finish that dissipates perfectly. What a finish. It gains length, depth and power as it aerates. Acidity is insane and it is beguilingly pure and fresh and my goodness this finish is way way longer than it should be  The fruit is so Pinot and is truly saturating. It has power and minerality and even a little of that Puligny iodine after some air. This is as profound as Rose gets.  It is so complex and sappy with beautiful freshness. This is super profound and in the warm 2018 vintage this is the best version yet. The wine is crazy. It is on my list of Top 10 Roses In the World According to Me, and is just so distinctive and does not seem of this world. It's so unique. Nothing else to compare it to. The Faberge Egg of wine.
