A Côtes de Provence Sainte-Victoire rosé that is intense, refined, and luminous

The estate

Located in the heart of the Côtes de Provence appellation, Maison Gassier stands out for its profound respect for the terroir and its constant pursuit of quality. Nestled at the foot of the Sainte-Victoire mountain, this family estate carries on a know-how passed down from generation to generation. Thanks to an exceptional microclimate and sustainable viticulture, the estate succeeds in producing wines that fully express the richness of their origin.

The terroir

Cuvée 946 owes its name to the altitude (946 meters) of the western tip of the Croix de Provence. It comes from vineyards planted on clay-limestone soils, emblematic of the Côtes de Provence Cru Sainte-Victoire appellation, and offers a pure expression of the great Provençal terroirs.

Winemaking and aging

The grapes, harvested at night to preserve their freshness, are destemmed and then directly pressed for 2 to 3 hours. After a week of cold settling, the must is racked. Fermentation is carried out partly in concrete vats and partly in Austrian demi-muids, in which this Provence wine is then aged for 6 months, with twice-weekly bâtonnage.

Blend

Grenache, Syrah, and Rolle.
