The 2024 Rimauresq 1er Cru Classé Rosé is a benchmark Provence rosé from one of the few estates awarded Cru Classé status in the original 1955 classification of the Côtes de Provence. Situated in a unique microclimate influenced by the Maures Massif and cooling Mediterranean breezes, Domaine de Rimauresq is renowned for producing rosés of exceptional elegance, purity and ageing potential. A blend of traditional Provençal varieties, the wine captures the finesse and mineral character that have made the estate one of the region’s most respected names.
The nose reveals wild strawberry, white peach and citrus zest alongside delicate white flowers, rosehip and subtle garrigue herbs. The palate is dry, fresh and beautifully poised, with vibrant red berry and stone fruit flavours supported by crisp acidity and a fine mineral backbone. Refined and effortlessly balanced, it finishes long and savoury with impressive freshness and complexity.
Ben’s Recommendation:
A superb Provençal rosé that delivers far more depth and sophistication than the category often suggests. Its freshness, texture and mineral precision make it a perfect match for seafood, grilled prawns, Mediterranean salads, charcuterie, grilled fish and summer entertaining. Serve well chilled and enjoy now through 2028 while its vibrant fruit, elegance and coastal freshness are at their peak.
