The 2025 Clos Sainte Magdeleine Côtes de Provence Rosé is an elegant Mediterranean rosé from the historic Clos Sainte Magdeleine estate, whose coastal vineyards at La Ciotat, between Cassis and Bandol, benefit from cooling sea breezes and rocky limestone soils. A blend of Grenache, Cinsault, Mourvèdre and Syrah, the grapes are harvested at night, gently pressed and cool-fermented in stainless steel to preserve freshness, purity and aromatic precision. The nose is lifted and refined, revealing wild strawberry, raspberry and pink grapefruit layered with white peach, delicate floral notes and a distinctive saline mineral freshness.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with crisp acidity, a silky texture and vibrant red berry fruit. Notes of summer berries, citrus zest and subtle stone fruit are balanced by a refreshing mineral edge and a touch of fine tannin, leading to a long, dry finish with elegance and finesse. Bright, refreshing and unmistakably Provençal, it is a beautifully crafted rosé that captures the charm of the Mediterranean coast.
Ben's Recommendation:
The 2025 Clos Sainte Magdeleine Côtes de Provence Rosé is a perfect aperitif and pairs beautifully with grilled prawns, Niçoise salad, tuna carpaccio, Mediterranean seafood, Provençal vegetable dishes or fresh goat's cheese. Serve well chilled at 8–10°C and enjoy now through 2028 while its vibrant fruit, refreshing acidity and coastal minerality are at their best.
