Description

Château de Roquefort Corail 2022 is a rosé wine from the Côtes de Provence region in southern France. This wine is a blend of Grenache Noir, Syrah, Cinsault, Carignan, Mourvèdre, Clairette, and Vermentino, harvested from vineyards located at 380 meters with clay-limestone and stony soils.

The wine is crafted using direct pressing and cold clarification, then aging in stainless steel and cement vats. The result is a rosé with a clear pink hue, a finely spiced citrus nose, and notes of white fruits, citrus, and a hint of fennel on the palate.

Producer profile

Château de Roquefort

Château de Roquefort is located in the heart of Provence, France. Nestled in the Côtes de Provence appellation, this estate benefits from a unique microclimate courtesy of its elevated position at 390 meters above sea level and proximity to the Mediterranean Sea. Since 1995, under the stewardship of Raimond de Villeneuve, the château has embraced a philosophy of minimal intervention and environmental respect, cultivating red and white grape varieties indigenous to the region. The vineyard's terroir yields a diverse array of wines, including reds, whites, and the rosés for which Provence is renowned.

Wine region

Provence, France

The Provence wine region in southeastern France is celebrated for its rosé wines, constituting approximately 90% of its production. Provence stretches along the Mediterranean coast, from the Rhône River in the west to the Côte d'Azur in the east. The region's wine history dates back over 2,600 years, making it the oldest wine-producing area in France.

1. Côtes de Provence: The largest and most prominent appellation, covering around 20,000 hectares. It produces mainly rosé wines from Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Cinsault, with some red and white wines.

2. Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence: The second-largest appellation, influenced by the Mistral winds. Known for its rosés, it also produces reds and whites from grapes like Grenache, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon.

3. Coteaux Varois en Provence: Located in the heart of Provence, this region has cooler, higher-altitude vineyards that produce wines with good acidity and complex flavors. The primary grapes are Grenache, Syrah, and Cinsault.

4. Bandol: Famous for its robust reds primarily made from Mourvèdre, Bandol also produces exceptional rosé and white wines. The vineyards here benefit from the area's well-drained limestone soils and warm climate.

5. Cassis: Known for its white wines from Marsanne and Clairette, this coastal region offers elegant citrus and herbal notes.

Provence's diverse terroir, ranging from coastal areas to inland hills, contributes to the distinctiveness of its wines. The Mediterranean climate, with hot, sunny days, cool nights, and varied soils, allows for a range of wine styles. The region is also known for its commitment to organic and biodynamic viticulture, particularly in Les Baux de Provence.
