Why we love it: Located just down the river from Bordeaux, Christophe Avi uses the fruit from his younger, regeneratively-farmed vines to craft this vibrant, delicious rosé. Farming here is deeply regenerative, and this rosé is just the tip of the iceberg of the gorgeous lineup that Christophe and Mary make together.

90 points: Vinous – The 2022 Rosé Christophe Avi Agenais opens with a wildly aromatic display: honeyed florals, cherries, crushed nectarines and exotic spices. It’s round and pliant, almost oily in texture, with ripe orchard fruits propelled by juicy acidity. This leaves a balanced inner sweetness while cleaning up well, with cascading inner florals that resonate. – Eric Guido, May 2023
