Shop review: Chateau Sainte Roseline is a very ancient Abbey (XII century). Founded by a hermit named Roubaud who, seduced by the beauty of the place, calmness and presence of an abundant source, decided to retire. Roseline, daughter of the Marquis de Villeneuve, Lord of the Arcs, was the Mother Prioress of the Abbey from 1300 to 1329. Very pious and generous, it marked strongly the local population and it is natural that gave the place its name. (vintage cellar)
So that's a nice story about this wine...but on to my review and we all know what that is worth:
So starting out with the color: it was a light clear wine with a hint of some yellow hues to it. It had an interesting nose to it with a light citrus base. There were hints of what I thought was pear peaking out as well. There was also an interesting scent that I could only characterize by some sort of cheese but my comrades in drinking [Marie and Derek] suggested some kind of soapy smell. After the first taste there was definitely some pear underneath the clean and light citrus base.
