CHATEAU DU ROUET CUVEE RESERVE COTES DE PROVENCE ROSE 2024 - pink

Style: Dry & RacyThe Château du Rouët is situated, at the foot of the red rock mountains, nearby the Roman town of Fréjus. Once a Templière farm, the Château is now settled at the foot of the Rouët mountain range, a volcanic bar of red ochre, at an altitude of 560 metres with five generations of rich history inter-twined though this impressive estate. The soils, formed by ancient movements across the Rouet Massif eons ago, left a patchwork of shallow sandy soils, sandstone, deeper soils with limestone, yellow clay as well as rocky granite and the red sandstone which is the archetype of the "Terroir de Fréjus" that Martin helped establish. Around 60% Grenache with 30% Cinsault and a touch of the traditional Tibourenc grape the harvests are done at night to maintain freshness and the light maceration’s performed in temperature controlled tanks to help maintain a wonderful lift to the wines. This result in a complex Rose that skirts the line beautifully between the richer Rose’s of Bandol but with the more delicate hand of Provence. PWSPale, shimmering orange-pink. Spice-accented red currant, cherry and floral scents pick up a hint of orange pith with air. Chewy and focused on the palate, offering bitter cherry and red berry flavors and a touch of candied lavender. Finishes long and silky, with repeating florality and a zesty snap of white pepper. – JOSH RAYNOLDS, Vinous (2022)Region: Provence, FRANCEVariety: Grenache blendABV: 12.5%Liquor Act 2007.
