The 2023 Les Clos Peyrassol Côtes de Provence Rosé is the flagship rosé of the historic Commanderie de Peyrassol estate and one of Provence’s most prestigious rosé wines. Produced only in the finest vintages from a single enclosed vineyard parcel at the foot of the estate’s ancient Templar buildings, the wine is crafted from organically farmed Cinsault, Grenache and Tibouren grown on Triassic clay-limestone soils rich in gravel. This exceptional terroir, combined with meticulous vineyard selection and small-scale winemaking, creates a rosé of remarkable elegance, concentration and ageing potential.
The nose reveals white cherry blossom, peach and pear layered with citrus zest, delicate florals and subtle mineral complexity. On the palate, it is silky and beautifully structured with vibrant acidity, remarkable depth and a distinctive saline edge that gives the wine both freshness and persistence. Layers of white fruits, grapefruit and subtle exotic notes unfold with precision and finesse, finishing long, dry and intensely elegant with the concentration and complexity rarely found in rosé. Critics have consistently regarded Les Clos as one of Provence’s benchmark rosés, praising its finesse, freshness and exceptional balance.
