Peyrassol
Le Clos Rosé
The most prestigious cuvée of the domain, Le Clos Peyrassol Rosé was recommended by Wine Advocate in 2020, tying for 1st place as the best Côte de Provence rosé. The wine’s first production was 2009 and since then has only been produced in the most ideal of vintages.
The Clos is one of the most beautiful plots on the estate, surrounded by low stone walls, at the foot of the Templar buildings. We have made the choice to be organic, in coherence with the range of our wines on the estate. A demanding and uncompromising sourcing brings us today to offer you the best of Provence. Triassic clay and limestone, with a high proportion of gravel.

- Delicate pneumatic pressing, careful separation of juices, traditional vinification in stainless steel vats, and temperature-controlled stoneware jars. At the end of fermentation, a light racking ensures that only the best of the lees remain. The small volumes matured in jars allow intimate contact with the lees and make it easier for the aromas and balance to develop naturally on the palate. Aged for several months in stoneware jars.

With an extremely pale pink color, this emblematic cuvée cultivates elegance, finesse and concentration. Aromas of white cherry blossom, citrus and white fruits such as peach and pear. The fresh and generous palate immediately delivers a complexity typical of great wines. The aromas are gradually released and intermingle to offer all the expression of the grape varieties of Provence from their favorite terroirs. Built around the acidity of the fruit, very long on the palate, this wine is elegantly prolonged by bitterness and dosed salinity.

"Offers a juicy blast of red berry and orange peel acidity, showing good concentration and a hint of lavender. Glossy and open in feel, this is shored up with flint and salty mineral notes. Mouthwatering through the tangy, silky and persistent finish."
