With a few exceptions a rosé is normally best drunk within a year of its vintage. However, this recently tasted 2007 Rosé made from Cabernet by Patrick Mahoudeau, Domaine de la Haute Clémencerie is still very fresh and shows no sign of tiring. Pretty mid-pink colour with attractive red fruits, it's a refreshing apéritif with quite an austere finish due to the characteristically high acidity of the 2007 vintage. I enjoy this austerity and cleanness but I know some people find these 2007s just a little too austere.
