✨ Technical Specifications
Château Grand Escalion, nestled in the southern reaches of the Rhône Valley within the Costières de Nîmes appellation, is renowned for its distinctive terroir of 'gress'—large, rounded pebbles deposited by the Rhône River millennia ago. The 'Amoureuse' Rosé is a beautiful expression of this sun-drenched landscape, where the vines benefit from the cooling influence of the Mediterranean sea breezes and the drying Mistral wind. The name 'Amoureuse' pays homage to the romantic, seductive nature of this cuvée, crafted to capture the vibrant, fresh essence of Southern French summer. Utilizing traditional direct pressing and temperature-controlled fermentation, the winemakers preserve the delicate red berry and citrus aromas, resulting in a pale, elegant rosé that perfectly balances crisp acidity with a round, expressive palate.
