About this wine

Description & facts

The Pétale de Rose is one of the first pale rosés, light salmon coloured, of the Provence. Colour is pale rose petal, with gentle silvery hues.
Nose is delicate, offering ripe strawberry and nectarine aromas, flowery notes such as peony, some orange blossom,
intertwined with tangerine peel, some aniseed and liquorice coming along with a subtle smoky, but airy sensation.
Palate is dry and mellow, caressing with satin-like texture, medium plus acidity and generous zests giving spiciness.
Flavours are intense, pungent with lots of liquorice and pink pepper melting into the sweet fruitiness of strawberry and peach.
Finish is long, with noble balsamic bitterness, offering a slightly tannic touch, and thus a certain structure.
Great with food, can keep well for the next 1-2 years.

Vinification
The vineyards are worked by hand, using natural animal fertilizers. Buds are trimmed and a green harvest is practice to purposefully limit yields. A part of the vineyard is plowed with horses. The area between the rows of vines is grassed over with cereals. All grapes are harvested manually, sorted, not de-stemmed and directly loaded into an hydraulic Champenois Coquard press without crushing. The grapes are lightly pressed so as to obtain optimum delicacy and fragrance from the very heart of the grapes. Wines ferment in temperature-controlled stainless steel, gravityfed cuves. The Pétale de Rose is exclusively made of 1st quality juices. The wine undergoes malolactic fermentation. For the 2016 vintage we used 50% native yeasts for the fermentation and we aim to do 100% for the next vintage. The wine is bottled at the Château la Tour de l’Evêque.
Location Vineyard
In the hilly valley of the Maurettes the land Schisteux of the Phyllades de Hyères consists of shaley soil derived from Silurian layers, and Permian red sandstone. The vines covering 78 hectares, are on average twenty years old.
