- A pale pink rose with inviting aromas of ripe wild strawberry and raspberry compote and a gentle hint of spice through to a feast of red summer fruits on the palate with a long, fresh, and saline finish. 2022 was another dry year in Provence that proved the vineyards’ resilience to these challenging conditions. Given galloping maturity levels, farmers had to be particularly attentive to harvest dates. Some late-summer rainfall kept everyone on their toes. Good phenolic maturity and slightly higher alcohol levels than last year were balanced with skilful blending. The vintage tends to be naturally paler in colour than the previous year.
The grapes were harvested at night to retain freshness and the aromatic profile followed by gentle direct pressing and partial maceration on the lees, known as stabulation. Temperature-controlled fermentation took place with selected yeasts in neutral vessels to retain the purity of fruit. Throughout the winemaking process the wines were protected with inert gas to preserve the freshness and aromatics.

Winery | The grapes come from south facing parcels, on hillside slopes of the Sainte-Victoire Mountain range foothills. The poor soils are rich in gravelly limestone which contributes to the aromatic expression in the fruit, while a clay-rich element retains water to nourish the vines through the warm Mediterranean summers. The diurnal temperature swings with cold nights and hot days, along with the influence of the fresh Mistral winds imbues the wines from this area with distinctive minerality.
