Château Simone - Palette - Rouge 2020

Key words: For keeping / Complex / Gastronomy

The wine: This superb vintage from Château Simone is probably one of the very best red wines of Provence! Structured and powerful, here is a large bottle offering an aromatic palette evolving on intense and deep black fruits  (blackberry, blackcurrant, plum) complemented by delicious fragrant spices (pepper, garrigue, licorice, eucalyptus) as well as an oaky touch of very beautiful precision.

The estate: With its heritage of century-old vines, the Rougier family is at the head of what is certainly the most famous vintage of the small Palette appellation. Nestled in the Langesse limestone, just outside Aix-en-Provence, the Château Simone is best known for its white wine. However the red and rosé vintages also constitute superb southern references with great precision. 25 hectares and a wide variety of grape varieties are cultivated and vinified brilliantly by the family.
