Château Simone - Palette - Rosé 2024

ORGANIC

Keywords : Characterful / Spicy / Gastronomic

The wine : Intense, spicy and beautifully structured, Château Simone’s rosé is a wine made for fine dining. Generous cherry and strawberry flavours are enriched by notes of vanilla, cinnamon and a delicate hint of rose. On the palate, a light tannic grip lends structure, while a mouthwatering mineral backbone balances the richness and carries the flavours through the finish. Its depth and body make it a lovely match for roast poultry or lamb chops with herbs. Delicious in its youth, it also rewards a few years in the cellar, allowing its spicy nuances to develop and gain complexity. A great rosé with real character, deserving the same attention as a fine red or white!

The estate : With its heritage of century-old vines, the Rougier family heads what is certainly the most renowned estate of the small Palette appellation. Nestled on the Langesse limestone, right next to Aix-en-Provence, the Château Simone is especially famous for its white. However, the red and rosé cuvées are also superb southern references of great precision. 25 hectares and a wide variety of grape varieties are cultivated and vinified with skill by the family.
