This 2024 Domaine de Rimauresq Cru Classé Rosé is an elegant and forward-thinking expression of Provençal finesse, designed for those who appreciate refined, terroir-driven wines with a sustainable edge.

The winemaking process begins with a blend of Grenache Noir, Cinsault, and Syrah. Grapes are harvested mechanically and manually in the cool of the morning, followed by several hours of cold maceration to gently extract the vibrant, fruit-forward juice. The free-run juice is then separated and fermented at a low temperature in stainless steel tanks to preserve its delicate varietal characteristics. After fermentation, the wine is left on its lees for three weeks with regular batonnage, enhancing its aromatic complexity, before being bottled without undergoing malolactic fermentation to maintain its crisp acidity.

Named after the real Mauresque river, it offers a delicate pale onion skin colour with enticing strawberry fruit aromas and an appealing garrigue-spiked nose. On the palate, the wine is rounded with red fruit and rosehip characters, gently lifted by subtle spices and balanced acidity. The finish is long, silky, and complex, with a whisper of white pepper that lingers gracefully.

Pairing Suggestions: Ideal as an aperitif or paired with fresh salads, grilled fish, or a classic salad Niçoise for a taste of Provence.

Tasting Note: Delicate pale hue reminiscent of onion skin with enticing strawberry and garrigue aromas; the palate reveals red fruit, rosehip, and gentle spice, culminating in a long, silky finish with a touch of white pepper.
