Tasting-Fleurs de Prairie, Cotes de Provence

This week I had a lot going on with job applications, presentations, and tests to prepare for for next week. Because of this I was in a major need of taking the edge off, so I decided to try a new wine.
I have always been a fan of Rose, even though it hasn't always been my first choice. I really like sweet wines so the dryness of Rose has always been hit or miss for me. I thought for this tasting I would try something a little more high end, since all the Rose's I have had before were usually boxed or $6 wines.

Here is my review:

Country- France
Year- 2017

Shop/wine critic/winery review (these will be cross-referenced with info provided by the shops to us)- "Fleurs de Prairie" translates as "wildflowers," celebrating the beautiful fields of wisteria, lavender, poppy, and sunflowers carpeting Provence. This wine is sourced from select Provençal vineyards that dot the coastal wind-swept hillsides of the region. The Mediterranean combination of sun, wind, mild water stress, and ocean influence provide ideal conditions for grapes to ripen to the perfect balance of flavor and freshness. This wine is crafted in the traditional Provençal style with a pale salmon color, delicate flavors of strawberry, rose petals, and herbs, and a bright, refreshing acidity. It is made by the family-owned Les Grands Chais de France.

My review- Typically I go for a sweeter wine. Often I even think of Rose's as too dry, but this one was enough sweetness to help me get past the dryness. I tasted a bit of acidity and tannins that made my mouth pucker. It was definitely more of a floral wine. I'm not sure if I would go for it again because I don't believe I enjoyed it as much as I do a fruity wine.

Pairing- I had this wine with some brie cheese and crackers and chocolate covered almonds. I definitely noticed that I enjoyed the chocolate with the Rose more than the cheese (even though I love cheese). I definitely liked the dryness yet slight sweetness of the wine with the chocolate sweetness. I felt like it almost tamed the dryness and joust enhanced the flavors of both respectively.
