Lumière de Provence comes from several terroirs which complement each other perfectly. Some vines are situated on the Roquebrussanne plateau, an enclave sitting between limestone and dolomitic mountains. Its rocky soil ensures good drainage of excess water and the retention of the summer heat. This fine, elegant rosé also derives freshness from the slopes of Seillons-Source-d’Argens, where the wines surround the village at nearly 400 metres altitude.

This is exactly what you want from a rosé. It's pale in colour but if still offers fruit flavours and scents, mostly in the strawberry field but with red cherry in the mix too. It's dry. It has texture, but it's a spicy, stony kind of texture rather than anything flaccid. It feels refreshing throughout, and perfumed, and it then feels both juicy and neat through the finish. The aftertaste then brings more strawberries. In short, I'd have no hesitation in recommending this. It's Exhibit A of how a dry rosé should be.
