Capitelles
Capitelle
Layered aromas and ageing
The stone capitelle that stands in our vineyard is the inspiration for this exceptional cuvee.
In the image of this edifice, we hope that our wine finds its place in history; like its walls shaped with precision, we search for the harmony of a delicate but structured wine.
Our ageing cellar, constructed with the same Beaucaire stone, shelters the barrels underground, under vaulted ceilings that keep them cool and allow them to age in peace.
Far from the current standards of rosé, with lots of originality, this gourmet, ample and complex wine improves thanks to its ageing and its evolution in the bottle.

Rosé
The marriage of Mourvèdre and Grenache
With a touch of Syrah -depending on the vintage-.
Rosé ‘de saignée’ fermented and aged in demi-muids.
This type of fermentation and ageing brings a suaveness to the flavour as well as an aromatic complexity, with notes of spices and vanilla.
Vinification and ageing without sulphur for more purity and fruitiness.
A slight addition at bottling to ensure the stability of the wine.

Appearance
Peach skin.
Bouquet
Ample and concentrated on fresh red berries, slight brioche and the inside of bread.

Can be paired with sweet and savoury dishes, and exotic and spicy cuisine: roast pork with quince, lemon tajine, fish (bell pepper tuna).
Ageing
Enjoy now or over 3 years.

« Un aspect légèrement toasté donne une indéniable séduction à un nez modelé par le fruit. Remarquablement constitué dans un style onctueux, la bouche tire parti d’un noble effet boisé, y gagne de la suavité tout en restant alerte. »

« Un rosé vinifié et élevé en barrique pendant 4 mois. C’est un élevage très juste qui a créé un vrai rosé de repas avec plus de complexité et de fond qu’un rosé de base. Bien fait. »
