WINERY Chene Bleu’s property is located on the same latitude as Châteauneuf du Pape and nestled in the hills of Les Dentelles de Montmirail, Domaine de la Verrière has the highest elevation in the region at 550-630 meters. The resulting cool nights and late harvest bring desirable ‘Northern-Rhône’ style freshness to the ‘Southern Rhône’ rich concentration of fruit and tannin.

WINE Our award-winning direct press Le Rosé is made in full respect of Nature, eschewing commonly-used chemical additives and fining agents. Its rich texture, welcome complexity, surprisingly long finish and aging capability indicate a serious food rosé, which appeals to oenophiles and gastronomes, as well as traditional rosé consumers.

Grenache noir, over 60 years old, North-West facing at 530m; Mourvèdre, 8 to 10 years old, South-West facing at 540m; Syrah, 20 to 25 years old, South West facing at 550m.

2024 will be remembered, by all means, as a difficult year in the Rhone Valley in general and at Chene Bleu in particular. Dry end of the year 2023 followed by 4 months being three times more humid than the previous years. From June to August, weather conditions were almost perfect giving us the time to take care of our vineyards. Unfortunately, in both September and October, unregular rainfalls complicated the harvest period that lasted from September 19th until October 10th.

Direct press method with skin contact at time of pressing for 1.5 hours; very cold fermentation for 5 weeks, 75% in stainless-steel tanks, 25% in French oak barrels.

The 2024 Le Rosé enchants with its delicate powder-pink hue, clear and luminous in the glass. Its expressive nose opens with elegant floral notes of rosehip, followed by hints of exotic fruits and ripe peach. On the palate, it strikes a perfect balance between roundness and freshness, revealing layers of white fruits, pomelo, and zesty lemon. A refined minerality lingers on the finish, leaving a pleasant and lasting impression.
