Clos Peyrassol
ROSÉ 2025
AOP Côtes de Provence – Made with organic grapes
Technical sheet Clos Peyrassol Rosé
Produced only in the best vintages since 2009, this cuvée comes from the Clos Peyrassol vineyard, one of the estate’s finest plots, surrounded by low stone walls at the foot of the Templar buildings.
The 2025 vintage
The 2025 vintage was shaped by the rhythm of a demanding natural environment. A cool, wet winter gradually gave way to a spring marked by sustained, often stormy rainfall, falling unevenly depending on the layout and contours of each parcel.
This was followed by a hot summer, punctuated by two heatwaves – the first in early July, the second at the end of August – which accelerated ripening across the vineyards. Along the coast, harvest began as early as mid-August, nearly two weeks ahead of the dates recorded some thirty years ago.
Further inland, the later-ripening terroirs of Provence, particularly on the limestone plateaus, followed a different tempo, with more varied harvest dates largely dictated by the soil’s water reserves.
In the glass, the rosés and whites have retained a very fine freshness, essential to preserving the fruit and delicacy for which they are renowned, while the reds reveal power and concentration.
In the cellar, responsiveness and precise control of fermentation temperatures were the key challenges. Cellar masters and oenologists, working with fruit of outstanding quality, had to tame musts naturally rich in sugar and warmth in order to unlock the full potential of the grapes and preserve the balance of the wines.
Sustained by this remarkable quality of fruit, 2025 stands out as a generous, well-balanced vintage, confidently oriented towards the future.
Soil
Triassic clay and limestone, with a high proportion of gravel, at the heart of a doline surrounded by dry stone walls.
Grape varieties
40 % Cinsault – 30 % Grenache – 30 % Tibouren
Growing
Organic farming. Cereals are sown between the rows to encourage soil life, harvested at sunrise and a precise choice of harvest date that respects the fruit.
Vinification
Delicate pneumatic pressing, careful separation of the juices, traditional vinification in stainless steel vats and temperature controlled stoneware jars.
Ageing
As soon as fermentation is complete, the wine is lightly racked to retain only the best of the lees. The small volumes matured in jars allow intimate contact with the lees and make it easier for the aromas and balance to develop naturally on the palate.
Tasting notes
Pale, extremely light pink in colour, delicate and bright. The nose opens with fine notes of cherry blossom, citrus and white-fleshed fruits such as peach and pear. On the palate, the wine is fresh, broad and complex, with impressive length, supported by the natural acidity of the grapes. The saline, elegantly bitter finish prolongs the tasting with great finesse.
