Rosé wine values tasted in 2006

The selected French bottlings have given me much pleasure for the price. I have purchased them again for personal consumption. Featured values include five wines from Provence and five organic wines.
 

The below wines were tasted in France, in 2006 (between April and December).The tasting notes are listed by increasing prices, with the following format:

Appellation - producer - plot or brand - variety
Vintage - approximate price - general impression - on nose - on palate - after swallowing
 

 Vin-de-pays-des-maures - Domaine Turenne - Aubrégades - [Cinsault 90%]
2005 - 4 € - a scent of peach skin - dense, mouth-watering, alcohol shows much, fresh

 Vin de pays du Var - Patrick Mourlan - Bastide des Oliviers - (rosé)

 Vin-de-table - Le Mazel - Pétillant rosé - Carignan

 Vin-de-pays-des-maures - Pique-Roque
2005 - 4.5 € - out of the present pick of blush wines, Pique-Roque is the only one that is not organic, it is our standard representative of the Provence rosé wines, complete with flower and apparent winemaking - the nose is dominated by flower - the wide mouth presence shows neither fat nor the fudge note of some Provence rosés, instead it shows flower and freshness

 Côtes-de-provence - Domaine Turenne - Camille - [Cinsault 80%]
2005 - 5.7 € - the grape expresses itself finely thanks to a supportive winemaking (as opposed to obtrusive) - dust, carambola (star fruit) - no flower, a lot of fruit (carambola, a hint of redcurrant) much alcohol (wide), fresh

 Coteaux-varois - Patrick Mourlan - Bastide des Oliviers - (rosé)
