  • Region: Provence, south of France
  • Estate: Château du Seuil
  • Style: Dry rosé (Provence typicity)
  • Serve at 8–10 °C
  • Best enjoyed young (2026–2027) for maximum freshness

🍇 Grape composition

  • Grenache — primary structure & red fruit
  • Cinsault — finesse, aromatic

🌍 Terroir & viticulture

  • Altitude: ~300–500 m (high-elevation Provence site)
  • Soils: Clay–limestone, Chalk with gravel / stones
  • Climate: Mediterranean with strong Mistral wind influence - Significant diurnal variation (warm days / cool nights)

Technical impact:

  • Preserves high natural acidity
  • Enhances phenolic precision and aromatic lift
  • Contributes to saline/mineral profile

🧪 Vinification (winemaking protocol)

  • Harvest: Typically early morning to preserve freshness
  • Pressing: Direct / gentle pressing of whole berries
  • Fermentation: Low-temperature fermentation - Stainless steel tanks (inert, reductive environment)
  • Extraction: Minimal skin contact → pale color, low phenolics
  • Aging: Short élevage in tank (no significant oak influence in style expression)
  • Objective: preserve primary fruit esters, limit oxidation, maintain clarity and freshness

⚖️ Analytical / structural profile

  • Residual sugar: Dry (≈ <2–3 g/L, typical for Provence rosé)
  • Acidity: Medium+ (naturally retained via altitude & climate)
  • pH : ~3.2–3.4 (typical range for this style)
  • Phenolics: Low (due to direct press)
  • Color intensity: Very pale (Provence standard)

🧭 Style classification (technical)

  • Winemaking style: Reductive, stainless steel, early-release
  • Market positioning: “gastronomic Provence rosé” (not just aperitif)
  • Aromatic profile drivers: Ester-driven (strawberry, citrus) - Minor thiol/citrus lift
  • Texture: Linear, acid-driven rather than glycerol-rich
