Nestled in the heart of an idyllic setting of holm oaks, rockroses, strawberry trees, and other Mediterranean vegetation, Château Galoupet is a Provence estate with a rich 300-year history.
Château Galoupet, a rich history
Established in the 18th century and shaped by the winds, this unique site lies between the Massif des Maures, the former salt marshes of Hyères, and the Îles d'Or. The property benefits from an exceptional terroir that attracted the interest of Louis XIV, leading to the creation of a historic map in the mid-18th century. Known for its Provence rosés since the 19th century, the estate gained recognition in 1955 by obtaining the title of Cru Classé Côtes de Provence. Despite the many owners who have succeeded one another, the integrity of the estate has remained intact for three centuries.
Since 2019, under the direction of Moët Hennessy, Château Galoupet has made it a point of honor to preserve the environment, from vineyard to glass.
Strong convictions for exceptional wines
Château Galoupet extends over 77 hectares of protected woodland and 69 hectares of organically certified vineyards. For the past four years, the estate has been restoring its ecosystem based on three main pillars : biodiversity, water management, and reducing its carbon footprint. Under the direction of Mathieu Meyer, the estate team crafts outstanding Provence rosés with precision, marked by both power and elegance.
G de Galoupet, an ode to subtlety
Made from organically grown grapes, this rosé charms with its refined aromatic palette, perfectly balancing finesse and character. Particular care is given to tibouren, a rare and delicate grape variety, precisely integrated into the blend. It brings a beautiful fruity structure along with a highly elegant saline finish. The nose opens with a lively and expressive bouquet. On the palate, the full and flavorful texture extends notes of red fruit and citrus with indulgence and freshness. Whether as an aperitif or to elevate your finest meals, this rosé pairs perfectly with heirloom tomato and burrata carpaccio, langoustines roasted with citrus butter, sushi, or a white fish ceviche.
Château Galoupet, a great gastronomic rosé
To craft this cuvée, a meticulous selection is made from the estate’s 40 plots, each managed and vinified independently. To preserve aromatic intensity, the most structured wines are vinified and aged in demi-muids. Special attention is given to tibouren, a rare and demanding grape variety, incorporated into the blend for its aromatic complexity, marked by notes of yellow fruit and a subtle saline touch. A true gastronomic rosé, Château Galoupet captivates as much with its finesse as with its aging potential.
