✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted by the master blender Xavier Vignon, this rosé represents a harmonious marriage of the diverse terroirs of the Southern Rhône Valley. Drawing from vineyards characterized by limestone, clay, and galets roulés (rounded stones), Vignon applies his signature scientific precision to capture the vibrant, sun-drenched essence of the region. Historically, the Rhône Valley has been a crossroads of viticulture since Roman times, and its rosés have long been celebrated for their structure and gastronomic versatility. Vignon's approach typically combines direct pressing for freshness with a short maceration to extract delicate aromas of red berries, citrus, and a signature mineral undertone, reflecting the ancient soils of the valley.
