Tomme de Provence Our pick A medium-bodied Provence rosé, fermented mostly in steel, has red currant, citrus and high acidity. The acidity meets the tomme's touch of tang, and the body leaves the creamy paste and its walnut and spice notes alone.

History

Arbaude is the estate's small-lot rose from a single north-facing parcel above the property at the foot of the Sainte-Victoire mountain. The Negrel family has owned Mas de Cadenet at Trets since 1813.
