Description
Spanning some 200 hectares, Château La Coste produces beautiful wines from Côteaux d’Aix-en-Provence and IGP Portes de Méditerranée. Founded in 1682, Château La Coste’s winemaking history actually dates back even further—to Roman times. The vineyards lie in a picturesque setting, amongst cypresses, stone pines, olive trees and oaks. Inspired by the exceptional terroir, Château La Coste tends to its vines using organic processes and biodynamic principles, prioritizing quality over quantity. In 2009, Château La Coste wines were given the “Organic Farming” label, and the vineyards later received Demeter’s Biodynamic certification in 2013.
Half manual and half mechanical harvest. Grapes were pressed using the direct method. Must was fermented in temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats on fine lees. A mélange of Grenache, Cinsault, Cabernet Sauvignon, each vinified separately and then blended in a state-of-the-art vat room, equipped to bring out the fruit’s natural flavors and aromas, resulting in a fresh young wine that conveys the subtleties of the terroir of Provence. Inviting aromas of fresh red berries open to flavors of cherry, strawberry, ripe lemon and a subtle chalky note. In true Provence style, this rosé is crisp and refreshing with bright, juicy acidity through the delicately fruited, mineral tinged finish.
