Château La Valetanne Côtes de Provence "Vieilles Vignes" rosé 2025

Our presentation of this beautiful cuvée:

The cuvée Vieilles Vignes 2025 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 well-structured, without excess 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, without hesitation. 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 surprise-free tomorrows. 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, it is important to note that you can be assured 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 compounds potentially affected by haloanisoles or halophenols. To simplify, in the world of wine, for cork taint, we talk about the main culprit molecule, "TCA" (for 2-4-6 trichloroanisole).
