The 2023 Château Peyrassol Côtes de Provence Rosé is a beautifully refined and organically farmed Provence rosé from one of the region’s most historic estates, whose winemaking roots date back to the 13th century. Crafted primarily from Cinsault, Grenache and Syrah with small amounts of traditional Provençal varieties, the wine is sourced from selected old-vine parcels across the estate’s limestone and clay-rich soils. Château Peyrassol is widely regarded as one of Provence’s benchmark producers, and this flagship cuvée perfectly captures the estate’s signature balance of elegance, freshness and complexity.
The nose reveals white peach, citrus zest and white flowers layered with rose petal, strawberry and delicate floral notes. On the palate, it is silky and beautifully poised with vibrant acidity, subtle mineral freshness and a gentle saline edge. Layers of peach, melon, pink grapefruit and red berries unfold with precision and finesse, finishing long, dry and refreshingly elegant with classic Provençal charm. Critics praised the wine’s floral complexity, minerality and balance, with Vinous awarding 91 points and Wine Spectator 90 points.
