"Lovely top notes of peony and baby's breath grace the bouquet of this rosé, with supporting notes of ripe melon, white cherry and strawberry at the core. The palate is medium in weight but well balanced, with a sweet orange flavor and bright acidic thread that keeps the momentum moving from the fruit-fueled palate to the vibrant, refreshing finish. Lauren Buzzeo"

"From cofounders Jesse Bongiovi, Jon Bon Jovi and Winemaker Gérard Bertrand comes this rosé made from 60% Grenache, 15% Cinsault, 15% Mourvèdre and 10% Syrah. A light garrigue character sits atop the bouquet of this dainty and pretty sip, with underlying tones that suggest white raspberry, currant and strawberry hull. The palate is light and vibrant, with brisk acidity and tangy citrus and tart-berry flavors that lend additional verve and lift through the close. Lauren Buzzeo"

"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Hampton Water Languedoc Rose" from the vintage 2018 on 01.12.2019 with 90 of 100 points.
"This rosé, made from 60% Grenache, 15% Cinsault, 15% Mourvèdre and 10% Syrah, smells light and fresh right off the bat, with medium-intense notes of wild strawberries, white peach and just a touch of white chocolate. The medium-weight palate offers enough acidity to lift the ripe peach, melon and red currant flavors, with a slight melon rind pithiness on the close. It's well balanced and easy to like. Lauren Buzzeo"

"(2019) I have to say upfront that everything about this Pays d'Oc blend of Grenache, Cinsault and Mourvèdre screams 'marketing' - first the ambitious price of £20 per bottle, second the striking label, 'Vinolock' glass stopper and designer bottle, and thirdly that it is made by Gérard Bertrand for a wine company launched by rock star Jon Bon Jovi and his son, Jesse - the business run by 23-year-old Jesse who studied political science and business economics. The 'Hampton' of its name is The Hamptons, and exceedingly up-market coastal playground for New York's super-rich, where the inspiration for making a rosé came to the father and son team. Following booming sales in the US, the wine has recently arrived in the UK. So is it any good? It's from the Languedoc, but pale and Provençal in style, though it has seen seen some barrel ageing which is not typical of Provence. There's a buouancy and fruity lift to the aromas, intense small berries and a limey note. In the mouth no real trace of oak, other perhaps than a richer texture than might be expected, again plenty of concentration of flavour, and a salty lick of minerality to join the pithy lemon zest acidity. It's certainly a bigger mouthful of wine than a typical Provence example, and has enough going on to justify the hype, though no doubt a bit of celebrity factor is built into the price."
