2023 Domaine de Rimauresq 1er Cru Classé Rosé, Cotes de Provence

The Domaine de Rimauresq Cru Classé Rosé from Côtes de Provence is a refined and elegant expression of Provençal winemaking at its finest. Crafted with precision from a blend of classic Mediterranean varietals, this Cru Classé Rosé encapsulates the essence of the region’s sun-drenched vineyards and its dedication to quality.

The nose is delicate and inviting, with aromas of wild strawberries, red currants, and white peach, layered with floral notes of rose petals and orange blossom. Subtle hints of citrus zest, Mediterranean herbs, and a touch of minerality add depth and complexity to the bouquet.

On the palate, the wine is light and refreshing, with vibrant acidity and a silky texture. Flavors of fresh red berries are complemented by nuances of pink grapefruit, stone fruits, and a whisper of saline minerality. The finish is crisp, clean, and elegantly persistent, leaving a lingering impression of freshness and finesse.

Sourced from Domaine de Rimauresq’s meticulously tended vineyards, this rosé benefits from the unique terroir of the Côtes de Provence, characterized by its schist and quartz soils. Crafted using a blend of Grenache, Cinsault, Mourvèdre, and other local varietals, the wine is fermented and aged in stainless steel to preserve its vibrant fruit profile and delicate complexity.

This rosé pairs wonderfully with a wide range of dishes, including grilled seafood, Provençal salads, or Mediterranean mezze. It also complements light poultry dishes, goat cheese, or even sushi. Best enjoyed in its youth for its freshness and vibrancy, the Domaine de Rimauresq Cru Classé Rosé is a perfect companion for warm summer evenings or casual gatherings.
