   This was such a good bottle, but frankly Bourgogne Rosé is never part of my buying regime.

   Is life really too short for rosé?

   I enjoy them in the warm weather. The only Burgundy I have ever had is the Bruno Clair Marsannay, which was consistently very good over numerous vintages. Haven't seen it in many years.

   Yes, forgive me if I come across as impolite, but you'd be a fool not to enjoy the stuff during the hot summer. The various producers in southern France (Domaine Tempier comes to mind) and try Benard Baudry's (Loire) cab franc rose!

   Not a bit impolite Rick - thing is, why would I reach for a rosé ahead of a chilled white burgundy tonight? (Currently 32°C in the garden 6pm...)

   Good point Bill, and on a friday night I'd go with the Burgundy too. But I can come up with one good reason for a weekday splash:
   XX Rose - around $18
   XX village Burgundy - around $50+

   Enjoying a very nice 2009 Frederic Magnien Bourgogne Rose tonight. It was almost 100F (37C) in NYC today and at $14 a bottle, this is perfect.

   Dear Bill,
   Sorry to mention some non burgundy wine,Try Calon Segur rose 2005,you will find how good it is for a real rose wine.
   Rose wine might be by-product of some wineries who seek for some contribution to the power of first wine.I think this is not good for natural wine practice but good for market competitions trend.
   Cheers!

   Sorry Thomas - I didn't understand - is that another language?

    I'm not entirely convinced myself that white burgundy is suitable for high summer.

    I'm with you for 'upper-tier' Côte de Beaune wines Tom, but regionals and Chablis are very welcome first glasses (or two) when I get home in the evening...

    To help me endure the heat in DC this week, I opened a Marsannay rose from Domaine Bart. I found it very enjoyable, but not as crisp as the provencal roses that I prefer.

    The best rose I have had from Pinot Noir has been from Sancere - by Cotat.

    Martin Bart makes a very nice Marsannay rose. And there's always the old standby, Domaine Tempier Bandol rose -- it will stand up to a mixed grill just fine. Bruno Clair is the reference standard Marsannay rose, although it tends to be one the rounder and fatter mode. The rose from Paul Cotat is in a league of it own -- taut, intense, even ageworthy.

    I'm not so fond of Rose either, but I have a very interesting bottle in my cellar. Its a 1998 Rose from Domaine Ponsot. I think he made it from young grapes from Clos de La Roche, just something about 1000 bottles are produced each year, and its very hard to find in the shops. Got it as a present, and my friend said that it's truly Clos de La Roche. Seems this is a classic Rose, but nevertheless it evolves in the glass for hours. I'm looking forward to taste it next summer, in company of some white and red Burgundies.
