Looking for a Rosé recommendation?
The ultimate recommendation would involve that particular variety of Rosé you may be interested in.
Having lived many years in France and having drank wine on a very regular bases while overseas, I would like to recommend the Tavel Rosé.
There is just something awesome about wine made from grapes in the Rhone Valley!
The French wine region of Tavel, on the sloping bank of Rhone, is known for its famous rosé wines. In fact, Tavel wines are only available in rosé variety. The rosé wines of this region are also known as the “The King of Rosés”. From light salmon to ruby pink, there are a variety of rosé wines with complex aromas of summer fruits and a full, rounded mouth with hints of spice. The wines in this region are made from Grenache, Syrah, and Clairette varieties.
Food Pairing
It can be served as an aperitif or with seafood pasta, cold fish starters, herb sausages, and a variety of cheese.

Ken Graham's answer is excellent. I will say that when I visited Provence, I found just about every rose delicious. In general, everyday Cote de Provence rose is less expensive than Tavel rose. So I might suggest starting with a Cote de Provence rose and graduate to a Tavel.
