It is a luminous pale pink colored wine, with a subtle shade ofpeach as in accordance to the chart of Rosé Provence Wines. The intense and complex nose reveals notes of exotic fruits (passion fruit), citrus (grapefruit) and white peach. The mouth is rich and fruity, with a pleasant sensation of roundness, and well balanced thanks to a freshness and a length which are THE signature our Sainte-Victoire terroir. Great persistence on the finish. This wine is gourmand and elegant, with a lot of personality.

To enjoy its aromatic intensity and freshness, our rosé is best consumed during the year succeeding its vintage. When served well chilled, between 10 and 12°C, it is an ideal aperitif, particularly appropriate with light meals: grills, white meat, terrine of scallops, salad of small red fruits etc. It is a perfect accompaniment for Provençal and Asian cuisines.

To maximize the revealing of their own quality and typicity,each grape variety and as far as possible each plot is vinified separately. After the de-stemming and the crushing steps, vinification often starts with a four to six hour pellicular maceration at low temperature (between 8 to 10°C). Pressing is applied by two pneumatic press. Must will then keep in contact with its lees for several days at very low temperature (2°C) to improve the aromatic complexity and the roundness of the future wine. Alcoholic fermentation last from 15 days to 1 month at constant regulated temperature, between 14 and 18°C.

Maturation: In stainless steel tank, on fine lees, for about 1 month after aracking realized at the end of the alcoholic fermentation. Clarification occurs in November, filtration in December. One month later, after many tastings and deliberations involving our oenologist and our « maître de chai », it is time to blend the different grape varieties and plot and to create the “cuvees”.
