94 points Yohan Castaing (Wine Advocate): "The 2024 Palette Rosé offers a more restrained and introspective expression than recent vintages, yet it remains one of the finest renditions of this singular cuvée. Opening with aromas of blood orange, grapefruit, spring flowers, rose petals and a touch of spice, it’s medium- to full-bodied, round and fleshy, built around a gently phenolic structure and tensile acidity. The finish is long, saline and delicately ethereal. While less exuberant today, it promises to evolve beautifully in bottle, gaining nuance and harmony with time. Once again, the Rougier family has deftly navigated the challenges of the vintage to deliver one of France’s most compelling and age-worthy rosés. Drink: 2027-2034. (6/26/25)"
Producer notes: "45% Grenache, 30% Mourvèdre, 5% Cinsault, 20% Syrah, Castet, Manosquin, Carignan, Muscat Noir and Blanc. The Château Simone Rosé is a wine that belies the notion that rosés are simple wines to be drunk up young. Aged in barrel, it is powerful and age-worthy with a steely character and a grey-tinted aura to the faded rose-petal robe."
