Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domain rated 1*Star (A serious, commendable production, in keeping with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))
About the domain :
Calissanne is located in Lançon-de-Provence. This very large Provencal estate covers 1100 hectares, 110 of which are planted with vines and 60 with olive trees, and forms a single, south-facing cultivation area. The terroir consists of brown, stony, filtering soils on Urgonian limestone colluvium, ideally suited to the cultivation of vines and olive trees. Planted on gently sloping hillsides in 25 parcels, 11 grape varieties are used to make Calissanne wines. The story goes that the famous calissons d'Aix, a delicacy made from almond paste, originated on a Calissanne hillside once planted with almond trees.

About the domain :
A former Celto-Ligurian stronghold, La Calissanne was owned by the Order of St. John of Jerusalem in the Middle Ages, by a parliamentarian from Aix in the 17th century, by a soap manufacturer in the 19th century, and finally, in 2001, by businessman Philippe Kessler, who passed away in 2008. Today, Sophie Kessler-Matière, the latter's wife, manages this vast 1,200-hectare estate, including 60 hectares of olive groves and around a hundred vines, spread over 25 parcels of gently sloping, stony hillsides. This pillar of the Côteaux-d'Aix AOC, managed for twenty-five years by Jean Bonnet - who gave careful thought to planting policy and vineyard maintenance - is now run by Christophe Barraud.

Note and review by M. GILLES D. Published on 30/06/2023
For our greatest pleasure, this typically Provençal rosé is the antithesis of the "candy" rosé trend. Attractive pale pink color. It shines with gourmet flavors of tart red fruit (raspberry, redcurrant) and citrus fruit (clementine, lime), complemented by a hint of sweet spice, in a full, round mouthfeel, imbued with insolent freshness and great lightness thanks to its low alcohol content (12.5%) and crisp acid support. This impression of slender freshness stretches like a thread to an airy finish, with highly perfumed fruity notes in return, to which a hint of bitterness and an ounce of pepper add a pleasant spiciness. A sensual bottle, all finesse for tasty, appetizing sensations, at an attractive price! Summer is in the air with this sovereign cuvée, to be served at 8°C alongside a traditional Provencal dish, preferably lean for Friday: a great Marseilles aioli made with cod, whelks and prawns, in a nod to Calissanne's fabric. Score = 4.
