"Lightness, harmony, and the delicious taste of citrus fruits!"

A lovely fruitiness unfolds on the palate, full of freshness, revealing tart red berries, citrus fruits, and a subtly spicy, licorice-tinged finish. It's an excellent introduction to the subject. A rosé that will accompany your summer with superb value for money!

Rated estate (2021 guide) 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)

About the estate:

Located just 900 meters from the sea, this family estate covering nearly 80 hectares sold all its production in bulk until Yannick Burles arrived in 2012 as technical director. Most of the production is bottled at the estate, beautiful vintages are produced, and year after year the wines improve admirably. The vineyard has been carefully restructured, which bodes well for the future of this rising star of the La Londe appellation, which is now contributing to the dynamic development of wines from this commune with undeniable potential. The team in place is making the wines shine.

Rated estate (2020 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines are regularly recognized by the guide)

About the estate:

This wine estate, whose existence has been documented since the 10th century, became the property of the Carthusian monks of La Verne in 1588. In 1855, Horace Vernet, official painter to Napoleon III, acquired it and built a château on the site. In 1920, it was bought by the Faré family, who still own the property today. They relaunched bottling at the estate in 2010 and in 2018 entrusted the management of its 65 hectares of vines to Julie Barneau and Christophe Deffilippi.

Note and opinion by Mr. GILLES D. Published on 09/30/2024

The Grenache-Cinsault blend produces a rosé that is slightly less powerful than in 2022, but still as smooth and sensual. It perfectly combines fullness, freshness, and sweetness with fruity aromas reminiscent of redcurrants and fresh strawberries, complemented by subtle spices and a hint of candy. The creamy, caressing texture is supported by a fine mineral structure, the intensity of which is accentuated by a pleasant salinity on the finish. A beautiful pairing with bouillabaisse, paella and, of course, Mediterranean red mullet on a bed of tomatoes, capers and black olives. Rating = 3.9.
