Bright, light pink with a nice brilliance. The very ample nose expresses intense berry and pink grapefruit aromas. This refreshing promise is affirmed in the mouth by dominant notes of raspberry and redcurrant underscored by the freshness of citrus. This rosé wine’s harmony and perfect balance prolongs the pleasure of tasting in a long, sweet finale.\n \n Producer Information\n The story of Château la Gordonne begins around the 1st century BC, the Romans set up on the site of La Gordonne to take advantage of its vines and its wines. In 1652, La Gordonne was definitively established as the name of the Château. In 1850, the Château and outlying buildings were completely renovated, and the Château has been selling wines ever since. The Château La Gordonne estate is also home to one of the 174 bells of the Var, dating back to the French Revolution. The bell was cast in 1654 and originates from a former chapel located on the grounds of La Gordonne. The Château La Gordonne is now one of the flagships of Vranken Estates. Château La Gordonne is established in Pierrefeu-du-Var, in the heart of the Golden Triangle of Provence. It is a unique property in Provence, covering a contiguous area of 816 acres of vineyards planted on seaward-facing terraces of shale, which enjoy a special microclimate. This allows the vineyards to grow in the best conditions to produce high-quality grapes. In 2021, the vineyards of Château La Gordonne will be certified organic according to the specifications of the EU after 3 years of conversion. Château La Gordonne produces excellent still rosés thanks to its new high-performance wine-producing facilities equipped with the same pneumatic presses historically used in Champagne and modern thermo-regulated stainless-steel tanks. These assets allow the winemaking team to extract the best juices, a fraction called Tête de cuvée. The winemaker Bruno Mailliard enjoys making wines that reflect the land on which they are grown, fruit-forwarded and sun-drenched. La Gordonne rosés typify the Côtes de Provence region, unique in the world, and capturing the most subtle fragrances of the Mediterranean.
