Château Gassier Rosé, Côtes de Provence, Provence, France 2025
Château Gassier sits at the foot of Mont Sainte-Victoire, near Aix-en-Provence. The family has farmed the estate for five generations, and the vineyard is certified organic. The house takes an artisanal, expressive approach to the Côtes de Provence and Côtes de Provence Sainte-Victoire appellations.
- WINEMAKER: Georges Gassier
- FARMING: Certified Organic
- VARIETY: Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault, Rolle (Vermentino)
- TERROIR: Situated in the Côtes de Provence AOP, the vineyards benefit from a unique microclimate influenced by the proximity of Mount Sainte-Victoire. The soils are predominantly clay and limestone, contributing to the distinctive minerality and freshness of the wines.
- VINIFICATION: The grapes are harvested mechanically at dawn to preserve their freshness. They undergo direct pressing, followed by cold stabilization and fermentation at low temperatures to enhance aromatic expression.
- AGING: Aged in stainless steel vats to maintain the wine's crispness and purity.
- TASTING NOTES: This rosé presents a delicate pale hue with peach nuances. The expressive nose reveals notes of white flowers, peach, and pomelo. On the palate, it is well-balanced and smooth, with lingering peach aromas and a fresh finish highlighted by a touch of acidity.
- FOOD PAIRINGS: Ideal as an aperitif or paired with dishes such as salmon and mango poke bowls, pan-seared shrimp skewers, or Provençal vegetables à la plancha. Salmon or mango poke bowls, shrimp skewers, sushi, and smoked salmon bagels. Works well as an aperitif.
