In the heart of Provence, at Château La Coste, wine, art and architecture live in total harmony on an Estate of over 500 acres. Uniting all the arts in one place, where creativity can express itself in complete freedom, is the raison d’être of Château La Coste. Lady A is a cuvée expressing the very essence of its terroir, with a pale salmon colour that recalls the light of Provence.
The grapes are grown in fourteen different locations across the Aix region, predominantly on deep clay limestone soil at altitudes of 280-350 metres. The grape varieties used in the blend are picked across a number of weeks, according to their individual ripeness. Levels and are harvested by machine at night.
The grapes underwent pressing at a low temperature , followed by cool fermentation in tanks. The wine underwent a short maturation in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks on fine lees to preserve fruit and freshness.

Château La Coste sits within a landscape steeped in the rich history of its Provençal setting. The original bastide was established in 1682 but it has existed as a domaine since the Roman times, with an agricultural and winemaking tradition marked by the land, evident in the presence of dry stone walls, bridges and wells.
Situated in the midst of Provence between the historical city of Aix-en Provence and Luberon National Park, Château La Coste sits on a north-facing amphitheatre totalling almost two hundred hectares of which one hundred and thirty are dedicated to vines, fifty to forests, ten to olive groves and two to lavender fields, allowing for a biodiverse landscape.
