Rose dry
Produced using organic farming methods from shallow clay-limestone & sand soils situated at around 250m above sea level. Mechanically-harvested in the early hours of the morning to obtain wine of an attractively pale colour. Grapes are completely destemmed. The approach to winemaking is by the traditional method in stainless steel vats: short period of skin maceration before pressing. Cold temperature settling is the next stage. Fermentation is temperature-controlled and malolactic fermentation avoided to retain those crisp, fresh aromas. No oak aging. The ‘Château’ is the most traditional – and the oldest – of their wines. It’s blended in the traditional way, with a short maceration period – these wines are designed to be drunk fairly soon. Dependable, elegant and bursting with fruit. The ideal way to get to know the vineyard and taste the terroir. Delicate and elegant floral aromas with lively minerality on the palate, clean attack and delicious strawberry notes.
Serve at 10-12 °C with tapas, a tasty pizza or a little charcuterie.
Château de L'Escarelle is one of the most beautiful wineries in Provence, located in the La Sainte-Baume Regional Natural Park, a protected area of hills and forests. The vineyard covers more than 100 hectares of vineyards growing at altitudes of up to 500 metres on terraced limestone soils, separated by traditional dry-stone walls. This environment creates a unique terroir that gives the wines freshness, minerality and elegance.
Since 2014, when Yann Pineau acquired the farm, Château de L'Escarelle has been modernising and converting to organic viticulture. The farm has been equipped with advanced technologies such as modern presses, temperature-controlled stainless steel fermentation tanks and a precise grape sorting system, which allows it to produce wines of the highest quality.
The winery works closely with the LPO PACA (French League for the Protection of Birds) on biodiversity research, including butterfly monitoring and conservation projects. The winery's philosophy is based on sustainability, respect for the natural heritage and the desire to create “a little corner of paradise, as close to nature as possible”.
