Château de Berne Côtes de Provence Rosé Inspiration 2023
Classic pale pink, this refreshing rosé offers delicate aromas of ripe stone fruits and captivating red berries. Crisp, with an elegant texture and a smooth finish unerpinned by subtle notes of the garrigue.
Provence is a land of lavender, garrigue and beautiful coastlines. The grapes for this wine come from Côtes de Provence vineyards across the region, carefully selected to showcase the essence of the terroir in this special appellation. This cuvée includes traditional varieties which have been meticulously cultivated with care from partner growers. The climate is Mediterranean, with the region enjoying 3,000 hours of sunshine a year and the long, dry summers providing excellent ripening conditions. The winds such as the Mistral, which punctuate the warm, dry climate are a significant factor in maintaining healthy vineyards. The geological diversity across the region encompasses pockets of limestone soils, which impart elegance.
The grapes were harvested during the cool of the night, carefully sorted and rapidly cooled further to around 10°C for optimal maceration. Fermentation took place at stringently controlled temperatures of between 14°C and 16°C, within a protective atmosphere to retain the freshness and fruity characteristics. The wine was aged on fine lees with gentle stirring to impart delicate texture, in stainless steel vats, before being bottled during the late winter to preserve the wine’s distinctively fresh style.
Château de Berne has a long winemaking heritage, with traces of vine-growing dating back to Roman times. Today, the estate extends over almost 510 hectares of unspoilt countryside, of which, 150 hectares are dedicated to the vine. The vineyards are located in the Haut-Pays region, known as the ‘Provence of the Interior’, where the terroir consists of chalky limestone hills and valleys. Château de Berne is committed to protecting the natural environment, as well as the people who work there, and holds the High Environmental Value Level 3 sustainability certification. Since February 2021, the estate vines have also been certified as organically grown. Oenologist Alexis Cornu crafts wines with respect for nature and mankind, while fully expressing the Mediterranean terroir. The elegant wines offer aromatic complexity, remarkable finesse and are full of character. The square bottle is the emblem of Château de Berne, referring to the two-18th century square towers at the entrance of the estate.
