2025 Le Cellier d’Eguilles Love(R) Rosé, Coteaux d’Aix-en-Provence, France 🇫🇷
The Moment
Some Provence rosés are built around softness.
Others are built around refreshment with just a little edge.
The 2025 Le Cellier d’Eguilles Love(R) Rosé feels like the kind of bottle made for exactly that second lane — pale, dry, and easy from the first pour, but with enough red-fruit brightness and mineral lift to keep it from feeling forgettable. A blend of 59% Syrah, 35% Grenache, and 6% Cinsault, with a beautiful light color, aromas of red fruits, a clean, refreshing finish, and a touch of minerality.
This is classic Coteaux d’Aix-en-Provence rosé in a very useful register: dry, fresh, and versatile. The wine is made at Le Cellier d’Eguilles, a cooperative located just outside Aix-en-Provence. Bright enough for aperitif hour, but grounded enough to stay on the table once food arrives.
What It Feels Like
Think grilled fish, olives on the table, late sun, and a rosé that does exactly what you want it to do without trying too hard.
What makes this bottle work is the balance between easy fruit and clean finish. The red-fruit notes keep it friendly, while the minerality gives it just enough shape to feel crisp instead of soft. It reads like a dependable Provence rosé for real-life drinking — not overly floral, not overly textural, just bright, dry, and ready for food.
