Expert Notes

“Super-pale – far more so than the standard Cuvee of Ste Marguerite. Delicate but also persistent. Brilliant! Made from old-vine Grenache and cinsault that dates back to 1936.”-Victoria More

Region

Côtes de Provence AOC is the largest appellation of the Provence wine region in south-eastern France. It covers roughly 20,000 hectares (50,000 acres) of vineyards, which produce the vast majority of Provence's rosé wine. This appellation includes most of the viticulture in the Var department – essentially the eastern half of the Provence wine region – apart from 2250 hectares (5500 acres) due north of Toulon which is set aside for the Côteaux Varois en Provence appellation.Although it also covers red and white wine, about 80 percent of Côtes de Provence's output is rosé. This is made predominantly from Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Cinsaut grape varieties plus the quintessentially Provencal red grape Tibouren.

Varietal


Cinsaut – Grenache blends are made up of two important grape varieties from southern France, and are vinified as either red or rosé wines. The two varieties have much in common; both Grenache and Cinsaut are lighter bodied than other Rhone varieties, have strong resistance to droughts, and perform best when overcropping is avoided. Grenache is of particular importance in the south of France. It is the predominant variety in the prestigious wines of Chateauneuf-du-Pape, and is used in myriad appellations all along the Mediterranean coast. Cinsaut is also permitted in many appellations, but its main function is as a blending variety – while Grenache has sufficient character to be made into a wine on its own, Cinsaut rarely does.

Food Pairing

Enjoy with truffle risotto, sushi and thai dishes.

Tasting Notes

The appearance, very light pink, is clear and bright. Floral and delicate nose of white flowers and citrus. It has a finely acidulous mouth, with notes of peach, citrus peel and exotic fruit.
