Before producing some of the best ros\u00e9s in the whole of Provence, La Commanderie de Peyrassol lived through an extraordinary history unlike that of any other estate. Archaeological findings show that human occupation dates back to the beginning of the Iron Age (1,000 years BC).<\/p>\n
The Gallo-Roman period has left even more evidence, especially with the remains of an architectural complex with massive walls which must have been used for agricultural purposes. But, undoubtedly, La Commanderie de Peyrassol entered the history books at the beginning of the 13th Century.<\/p>\n

In 1204, the Count of Provence, Alphonse II, donated the estate to the Order of the Knights Templar. This is when “Peirasson” became one of the many Templar commanderies in Provence. The life of the soldier-monks was punctuated by prayers, military training, land reclamation, tax collection and welcoming pilgrims on their way to the Holy Land. The 1,000 hectares of arable land, pastures, woodland, and scrubland part of the estate were used for a variety of agricultural purposes. Cereals, vegetables, olive groves, animal rearing… ensured the livelihood of the small community. The vineyard was an integral part of this polyculture. It produced a wine, which was not yet a ros\u00e9, traces of which can be found in a parchment dated 1256 kept in Marseille, reporting the sale of “44 mirolles of good frank wine”.<\/p>\n

After the suppression of the Order of the Knights Templar, due to the famous trial ordered by Philippe le Bel, the Knights of the Hospital of Saint John were entrusted with the estate.<\/p>\n

It was not until 1789 and the confiscation of Church property by the State that the property changed hands.<\/p>\n

The Ricard family bought Peyrassol when national property was sold in 1790.<\/p>\n

The Ricard family then sold the estate to the Rigord family in 1830.<\/p>\n
Having used food producing polyculture since the beginning, the vineyard took over very gradually. The Rigord family passed on the estate from generation to generation until 1967 when Dr Rigord and his wife Fran\u00e7oise inherited it. The time for ros\u00e9 had not yet come, but Fran\u00e7oise Rigord, “the lady of Peyrassol”, contributed with talent to establishing a reputation for the new C\u00f4tes de Provence appellation.<\/p>\n
[\/dipi_timeline_item][dipi_timeline_item admin_label=”2001″ ribbon=”2001″ timeline_icon=”||fa||400″ timeline_icon_color=”#f2f3f3″ card_padding=”23px|30px|30px|30px|false|false” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” header_level=”h3″ header_font=”Baskervville||||||||” header_text_align=”left” header_text_color=”#CC1517″ body_font=”Baskervville||||||||” body_font_size=”13pt” ribbon_text_font=”Baskervville||||||||” ribbon_text_text_color=”#CC1517″ ribbon_text_font_size=”50pt” background_color=”#f5f6f0″ background_enable_color=”on” body_font_size_tablet=”11pt” body_font_size_phone=”11pt” body_font_size_last_edited=”on|tablet” ribbon_text_font_size_tablet=”30pt” ribbon_text_font_size_phone=”20pt” ribbon_text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” border_color_all_ribbon_text=”#CC1517″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
However, the estate needed substantial investment, both for the Ch\u00e2teau Peyrassol vineyard and the buildings, to be in keeping with its quality standards. Fran\u00e7oise Rigord decided to sell the estate in 2001 to Philippe Austruy, a wine lover, besotted with perfection and respectful of the memories that inhabit this historic estate.<\/p>\n
This was the beginning of a new era for La Commanderie de Peyrassol, and the Ch\u00e2teau Peyrassol vineyard, thanks to the new owner who fell in love with the estate, the landscapes, and its history.<\/p>\n

Undeniably, the Ch\u00e2teau Peyrassol vineyard is blessed by nature!<\/p>\n It is situated at an altitude ranging from 220 to 350 metres above sea level. Ideal conditions for a healthy temperature range during the hot summer months. The 850 hectares property is surrounded by the typically southern vegetation. Truffle oaks, white oaks, olive trees and scrubland provide dense natural protection for the vineyard, cultivated following the rules of organic farming. Finally, nestled in the foothills of the Massif des Maures, in a vast natural cirque, it is protected from the harmful humidity brought by the maritime air masses.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”1″ make_equal=”on” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#f5f6f0″ width=”100%” custom_padding=”0px||0px||true|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”30px|20px|30px|20px|false|true” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”83869637-6441-4610-9977-72ab94290872″ text_font_size=”14px” text_line_height=”1.6em” header_2_font=”|700||on|||||” header_2_font_size=”26px” text_orientation=”center” custom_padding=”|3vw||3vw|false|true” text_font_size_tablet=”14px” text_font_size_phone=”” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” header_2_font_size_tablet=”16px” header_2_font_size_phone=”14px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The vines thrive on a poor and not very acidic soil dating mainly from the Triassic period, comprising limestone marl which is conducive to producing lively wines, and a feature particularly suitable for white and ros\u00e9 wines. However, there are many nuances in the 92-hectare vineyards: stony and rocky on the hills, deeper and cooler on the plain, with traces of clay in the sinkhole where the enclosed plot lies… One of the first actions Philippe Austruy undertook when he acquired the estate was to surround himself with a team of experts who identified different plots with homogeneous characteristics.<\/p>\n No less than 63 plots were identified, whose cultivation and eventual production is individualised throughout the wine-making process. The ideal grape variety for each plot was then selected or planted. Thirteen different grape varieties are present at Ch\u00e2teau Peyrassol. Red grape varieties, used for both ros\u00e9 and red wines, such as Cinsault, Grenache, Tibouren, Mourv\u00e8dre, Syraz and Cabernet Sauvignon. White grape varieties such as Rolle, Ugni Blanc or Semillon are of course used for white wines, but also to produce ros\u00e9 wines.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#ffffff” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.peyrassol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/peyrassol-domaine-viticole-rose-paysage-vignobles-vignes-mur-v2.jpg” title_text=”peyrassol-domaine-viticole-rose-paysage-vignobles-vignes-mur-v2″ align=”center” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Menu” module_id=”terroir-eblouissant” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” custom_padding=”0px||||false|false” da_disable_devices=”off|off|off” global_colors_info=”{}” da_is_popup=”off” da_exit_intent=”off” da_has_close=”on” da_alt_close=”off” da_dark_close=”off” da_not_modal=”on” da_is_singular=”off” da_with_loader=”off” da_has_shadow=”on”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”c325be86-f9a2-4088-aa67-8c96eeddf5f4″ header_text_align=”center” header_2_font=”Baskervville|||on|||||” custom_padding=”|0px||0px||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”1″ make_equal=”on” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#f5f6f0″ width=”100%” custom_padding=”0px||0px||true|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”40px|20px|30px|20px|false|true” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text content_tablet=”<\/p>\n Quel vignoble ne pr\u00e9tend pas b\u00e9n\u00e9ficier d\u2019un superbe terroir ?

It is undoubtedly the estate\u2019s largest production but certainly not the easiest. Because making a perfectly balanced ros\u00e9 wine requires know-how, constant attention and, above all, a sense of timing!<\/p>\n But first we must clarify one point. The juice of red grapes is white. It consists of water, sugar, and acids. It is the skin that contains the colour, aromas, and tannins.<\/p>\n To make a ros\u00e9 wine by direct pressing, the method used by Ch\u00e2teau Peyrassol, the grapes are placed in a pneumatic press and pressed for 2 to 4 hours. This is the only time when the juice is in contact with the skins. It then acquires its pinkish colour and aromas.<\/p>\n The juice is then cleared of impurities: this is the settling process. Then the alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel vats begins, at a temperature of between 15 and 18\u00b0C.<\/p>\n The juice of the grapes from the same plot is kept in dedicated and identified vats where vinification takes place until the time comes to blend the ros\u00e9 and white wines.<\/p>\n This is an essential step in Provence, which has made it a marker in the development of C\u00f4tes de Provence.<\/p>\n During tasting, each vat asserts its personality and characteristics. Like the nose required by a perfume designer, this palette of aromas, colours, olfactive and taste profiles is the scale on which the cellar master, surrounded by advisors and the owner,<\/span><\/a> will use to create each cuv\u00e9e.<\/p>\n Several stages and tasting sessions are necessary before obtaining the end result. Two pre-selection sessions in November, then 2 to 3 selection sessions before the final blend. Around the table, Fabien Burani and Pierre Gu\u00e9rin, our consultant for ros\u00e9 and white wines over the past 20 years, and at times Fouad Essoualeh, the vineyard manager, with Alban Cacaret validate the final choice. It takes almost two months to complete this crucial stage, which also requires a combination of experience, intuition, and a touch of magic.<\/p>\n The ros\u00e9s then age for a few months before being bottled from February onwards. Generally kept in stainless steel vats, they can also be vinified and then aged in jars, as is the case for the Clos Peyrassol. <\/span><\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.peyrassol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/peyrassol-domaine-viticole-vin-rose-assemblage-v3.jpg” alt=”Paysage du vignoble de Peyrassol, cr\u00e9ant des vins ros\u00e9s de Provence” title_text=”peyrassol-domaine-viticole-vin-rose-assemblage-v3″ align=”center” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” min_height=”529.6px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”1″ make_equal=”on” disabled_on=”off|off|on” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#f5f6f0″ width=”100%” custom_padding=”0px||0px||true|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”40px|20px|30px|20px|false|true” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text content_tablet=”<\/p>\n Quel vignoble ne pr\u00e9tend pas b\u00e9n\u00e9ficier d\u2019un superbe terroir ?

They are made exclusively with our white grape varieties and are therefore ‘Blancs de Blancs\u2019 (whites made from white grapes). They are appreciated for their distinctive personality and finesse.<\/p>\n Before pressing, the grapes are separated from the stalks… but not always: for certain grape varieties, the “whole bunch” is pressed. This is a way of preserving the quality of the juice, protecting it as long as possible from coming into contact with the air by ensuring the grapes are intact until the very last moment.<\/p>\n When the juice and skins have been separated, all the suspended particles are allowed to settle. The clearest part is transferred to another vat, to barrels or to stoneware jars. This process of clarification is called \u201c<\/span>d\u00e9bourbage\u201d<\/span><\/i>.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n Once the juice in the new container is clear, the alcoholic fermentation takes place. The sugar turns into alcohol, the temperature rises during this transformation, and we keep the wine at a low temperature by using heat exchangers. Fermentation takes place between 14\u00b0 and 18\u00b0C to preserve the quality of the aromas.<\/p>\n For a few months after fermentation, the new wine undergoes the ageing process: in stainless steel tanks, in oak barrels and\/or, depending on the batch, in stoneware jars. Each container, because of the degree of exposure to air, will have a huge influence on the final taste of our different vintages.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.peyrassol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/peyrassol-domaine-viticole-vin-rose-vin-blanc-jarre-gres-v2.jpg” alt=”Paysage du vignoble de Peyrassol, cr\u00e9ant des vins ros\u00e9s de Provence” title_text=”peyrassol-domaine-viticole-vin-rose-vin-blanc-jarre-gres-v2″ align=”center” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” min_height=”529.6px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”1″ make_equal=”on” disabled_on=”off|off|on” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#f5f6f0″ width=”100%” custom_padding=”0px||0px||true|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”40px|20px|30px|20px|false|true” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text content_tablet=”<\/p>\n Quel vignoble ne pr\u00e9tend pas b\u00e9n\u00e9ficier d\u2019un superbe terroir ?

It combines the expression of the terroir and the freshness of the tannins.<\/p>\n The grapes, destemmed and sorted, land in concrete vats by gravity. The pulp (whole grapes – skins, pips, pulp) floats on the must (juice). The pulp contains the pigments, aromas and tannins that need to dissolve in the must during maceration.<\/p>\n As soon as must and pulp come into contact, they macerate. The grape juice then absorbs the tannins, colour, and some of the aromas from the pulp. Throughout the process (pre-fermentation, fermentation, and post-fermentation) maceration is encouraged by gently stirring (the must is brought to the surface to moisten the cap of the floating mass) and punching down (the cap is pushed into the must).<\/p>\n Alcoholic fermentation takes place by maintaining the vat temperature at around 25\u00b0C. At the end of the fermentation process, the vinification of Clos Peyrassol and Ch\u00e2teau Peyrassol vintages<\/span><\/a> differs from that of Les Commandeurs, in that punching down is favoured rather than stirring, allowing for more intense extraction and maceration.<\/p>\n Unlike the ros\u00e9s and whites, the pressing is carried out once fermentation is complete. The free-run wine runs off only after opening the bottom valve of the tank. The press juice is recovered after pressing the pomace which is still very wet. The proportion of free-run juice and pressed juice depends on the style of the desired wine.<\/p>\n Before bottling, the wines are finished in different containers suitable for their characteristics and to the desired style. And at Peyrassol the choice is vast: stainless steel vats, concrete vats, concrete egg-shaped vessels, stoneware jars, terracotta jars, oak barrels… the range available to the cellar master enables the preparation of wines that are both subtle and complex, celebrating their terroir and reflecting the passion of the men and women who create them.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.peyrassol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/peyrassol-domaine-viticole-rose-vin-rouge-tri-des-raisins.jpg” alt=”Paysage du vignoble de Peyrassol, cr\u00e9ant des vins ros\u00e9s de Provence” title_text=”peyrassol-domaine-viticole-rose-vin-rouge-tri-des-raisins” align=”center” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” min_height=”529.6px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”1″ make_equal=”on” disabled_on=”on|on|off” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#f5f6f0″ width=”100%” custom_padding=”0px||0px||true|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”40px|20px|30px|20px|false|true” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”83869637-6441-4610-9977-72ab94290872″ text_font=”Baskervville||||||||” text_font_size=”15px” text_line_height=”1.6em” header_2_font=”|700||on|||||” header_2_font_size=”26px” text_orientation=”center” custom_padding=”|2vw||2vw|false|true” text_font_size_tablet=”14px” text_font_size_phone=”” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” header_2_font_size_tablet=”16px” header_2_font_size_phone=”14px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n How can we not start with the star of our cellars, the ros\u00e9<\/span><\/a>.
