A refined and generous rosé from Provence

The estate

Located in the heart of the Côtes de Provence appellation, Maison Gassier embodies viticultural excellence and Provençal authenticity. Heir to expertise passed down through generations, the estate benefits from an exceptional environment, nestled at the foot of the Sainte-Victoire mountain. This privileged setting provides a microclimate ideal for crafting wines of character. Combining sustainable viticulture with innovation in the cellar, Maison Gassier enhances its terroir and offers unique cuvées marked by elegance and finesse.

The terroir

Sourced from plots located within the Côtes de Provence Sainte-Victoire appellation, Pas du Moine is made from vines rooted in clay-limestone soils, ensuring remarkable balance and freshness.

Winemaking and aging

The grapes are harvested at night to preserve their freshness. Direct pressing for 2 to 3 hours is carried out, followed by cold settling for one week. Fermentation then takes place in concrete vats to preserve the wine’s aromatic purity.

Blend

Syrah, grenache, cinsault, and rolle.
