Description
Château Saint-Pierre sits in the heart of Provence. The domain has a rich history; the Saint-Pierre priory dates back to the 11th century. It was originally the property of Foulques, the Lord of Les Arcs. In 1055, the church was bequeathed to the Abbey of Saint-Victor in Marseille. The priory was built on the ruins of a Gallo-Roman villa that dates back to the 1st century! In the modern era, the priory was transformed into a private estate with an orchard, and then into a vineyard, while still retaining its unique and timeless charm. Today, it is a picturesque part of the Provençal Bastide, where history meets culture. Château Saint-Pierre has gained a reputation for producing excellent quality wines since the 1970s. The domaine remains dedicated to preserving the connection to nature in their vineyards, and is converting to entirely organic farming.
The EDEN bottling is a blend of 40% Grenache, 30% Cinsault and 30% Syrah. The grapes were mechanically harvested. Direct pressing followed by an 8-day cold stabilization and static settling for 1 hour. Cold fermentation, processed entirely in stainless-steel tank.
Pale peach color. Inviting aromas of tart red fruits laced with chalk dust. The palate is fresh and appealing, with flavors of raspberry, strawberry, watermelon rind and a burst of lemon. Vibrant and elegantly textured, with a soft mineral flourish on the long, silken finish.
