Wine of the week: A beautifully balanced rosé

2012 Le Saint Andr Ros, Vin de Pays du Var, France (£9.75 for a bottle, £22.95 for a magnum, Robert Rolls, 020-3215 0011).

I apologise that my column this week reads a little like a shopping list, but I have had an epiphany. Use the list that follows wisely. I have recently tasted three new 2012 ross, from the Figuire estate in Provence, and they are all sold by the enigmatic and highly talented Robert Rolls.

I guarantee that you will solve all of your ros buys for the year in one fell swoop (although load up on a few boxes of Chteau de Sours from Bordeaux, too: it's a cracker!).

My featured Le Saint Andr Ros is a heavenly creation, classily packaged, pale, enticing and beautifully balanced with a come-hither, wild strawberry scent. The Dinner Party, 2012 Magali, Signature Ros (£12.45 bottle, £26.50 magnum, £64 double magnum) is a more structured and tightly wound creation with devastating acidity and epic class.

The No Upper Limit, 2012 Premire de Figuire, Vieilles Vignes Ros (£15.99 bottle, £33.95 magnum) is sublime, with the mourvdre grape leading the way, as one would expect, and loading everything that is glorious about Provence Ros into one glass.
