In the Glass — Tasting Notes

Pale and poised, this is Provence rosé made the right way. The 2025 vintage delivers redcurrant and exotic fruit balanced against a spine of zesty acidity, with mineral freshness that demands another glass. At bone-dry (0.32g/L residual sugar) and 12.5% abv, the concentrated flavour—shaped by intense Provençal heat and early harvest—carries refreshing length without jammy weight.

The Winery — Château Beaulieu

Château Beaulieu sits in the volcanic heart of Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence, on 300 hectares at 400 metres altitude. The estate, built as a stronghold for French King Henry III in 1576, is now run by the Jeanjean family, who also co-own Mas La Chevalière and Domaine Laroche in Chablis. Grapes are harvested at night and pressed straight away to preserve colour and aromatic character. Cool fermentation (13–14°C) maintains the pale pink hue. This Grenache-led blend (55% Grenache with Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Cinsault) benefits from the estate's altitude and sea-breeze moderation—a classically Provençal approach rooted in centuries of viticulture.
