The wine : This superb cuvée from Château Simone is probably one of the very best red wines of Provence ! Structured and powerful, here is a great bottle offering an aromatic palette evolving on intense and deep dark fruits (blackberry, blackcurrant, plum) complemented by deliciously spiced aromas (pepper, garrigue, licorice, eucalyptus) as well as a woody note of great accuracy.

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 limestones of Langesse, 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.
