Have yet to have one that caused me to sit up and take notice. Always enjoy them sitting on a porch on a beautiful Summer day/eve, or as a splendid paring with some nice, light fare…but not once has a Rosé put me in that deep contemplative zone of oenophilic bliss.
Whatcha got for me to try out to take me “there?” Keeping pricetag comfortably under the $50ish a pop range a huge plus.
I typically prefer rose as a refreshing drink for warm weather, but for a serious version, this is really good. Gros Nore Bandol is another really good one at a somewhat lower price than Tempier.

Generally am very taken by the pink wines from Corsica. Perhaps harder to find and a couple bucks more than “comparable” wines but nonetheless damn fine rose.
Would be helpful if OP added context. What have you tried to date? Also entirely possible that there will never be a “wow” rose for you. And that’s not a terrible thing either.
As expected, not many stateside suggestions. The Rosé that tickled my fancy the most was a Rochioli. Suppose I have to get my azz out of the US and look to France for greater Rosé QPR, eh?
Edited to add: other Rosé that I have had that have been highly enjoyable are Dehlinger, Scherrer and Gary Farrell.
Tempier has always been a goto Provençal classic, but never a “wow” wine for me. Three Roses that have had me shout out SWEET BABY JESUS!!..Cotat(Francois/Pascal), Chateau Thivin, and Emidio Pepe Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo.
