Mission Codename: The French Connection

Operative: Agent Blush

Objective: Locate a Rosé that is great enough to satisfy the exacting tastes of our very choosy Operatives

Mission Status: Accomplished!

Current Winery: LCB – by Jean-Charles Boisset

Wine Subject: No. 69 Pinot Noir Rosé

Winemaker: Jean-Charles Boisset

Backgrounder: Named ‘One of the Top 50 Powerbroker’s in the global wine business’, Jean-Charles Boisset grew up in wine. The family business, spanning multiple winemaking generations, was both playground and training ground for Jean-Charles. Today, he directs a thriving multi-continent wine busines that includes some of the finest wines from France and California. Today’s wine is a special project by Jean-Charles. His aim, to craft wines that are “uncompromising personality – audacious, unique, mysterious, passionate [and] subtle”, has been stunningly achieved with today’s fine offering

Wine Spies Tasting Profile:

Look – Brilliant dark pink, almost salmon in full sunlight. At the edges, this wine glints bright pink. When swirled, the wine looks soft and somewhat dense. When it settles, it leaves behind fast ropes of chubby legs that appear instantly and then streak down the glass

Smell – Deep and lush, complex, with layers of strawberry, soft rose petal, subtle rhubarb, pink grapefruit, and even a soft hint of California fruit forward Pinot Noir

Feel – Soft, round and satin-smooth with a gentle dryness that shows up slowly as the complexity of the wine is revealed

Taste – Tart strawberry leads off, followed by softest smoky cherry, bright cranberry, mellow pink grapefruit and, finally, tender rhubarb

Finish – Long and lingering with flavors that start sweet and then go slightly tart and dry as flavors gently tail off

Conclusion – This is an incredible rosé ! Served only in fine restaurants in the United States, I am thrilled to be able to bring it to you today. If you are a fan of delicious, complex and beautiful rosé , please do not miss out on this wine. I enjoyed a bottle with Agent Sparkle, who went absolutely crazy for it as well. Agent Red and White also flipped over the wine and that is really saying something; They are both notoriously picky (snobby?) about rosé wines. So, by unanimous decision, we declare this complex and brilliantly executed rosé a complete knockout! If you are looking for the perfect, non-boring, Summertime refresher, you’ve found it right here. Just be sure to stock up, because you can’t buy this wine anywhere else but right here – right now!

Mission Report:

Today’s mission was so Top Secret that the entire mission report has been redacted. Suffice to say, I, Agent Blush, was able to procure today’s wine when no other retailer on the planet could!

Happy Memorial Day from all of us at Wine Spies headquarters!
