92/100 Le Figaro. The great classic of our selection since the creation of Vignerons d'Exception in 2013. It never disappoints us!A rosé organic from Provence, impeccable with a confidential production (only 14 ha), has become essential. The very low amount of sulfites promises surprise-free tomorrows... It is part of the now "small family of artisan winemakers", in contrast to the "large global marketing brands" that have emerged in recent years.

Comments on this
Le Figaro (June 2025): 92/100. Dried citrus peels stand out on the nose, with hints of juicy white peach and a touch of rose. The palate is full, refreshing, with aromas dominated by red fruits.
Our presentation of this beautiful cuvée:
The cuvée Vieilles Vignes 2024 is a rosé made from the very classic blend of Grenache and Cinsault grapes, with the particularity of very low yields: 42 hl/ha, which is ridiculous compared to other Côtes de Provence, where one can benefit from the appellation up to 55 hl/ha.
The color is clear and bright, a very pale salmon. The aromas are very fruity and floral, and the attack is soft yet lively, without excessive acidity. A superb presence on the palate and a long finish allow this wine, served chilled (8-10°C), to accompany all meals, whether summer or winter, from aperitif to dessert. A very balanced wine that shows 13° on the label, which is quite reasonable for this latitude.
It is also a certified organic wine by Ecocert. Among other promises, the use of almost no sulfites guarantees no surprises the next day. A significant advantage, which is not highlighted at the Ritz, at Matignon, or at the French embassy in the Vatican where it is served ;-)
To be complete about this rosé, let’s specify that you have the assurance that your wine will not be corked, as it is equipped with a specially treated cork that professionals know well: Diam. This is a patent developed with the CEA (Commissariat à l'Energie Atomique) which, thanks to CO2 pushed to a "supercritical" state, will "wash" the cork of its potentially affected compounds by haloanisoles or halophenols. To simplify, in the wine world, for cork taint, we talk about the main culprit molecule, "TCA" (for 2-4-6 trichloroanisole).
