The Commanderie de Peyrassol was founded in 1204 by the Knights Templar & is regarded as one of the finest producers of Rose in the heart of the Côtes de Provence. The estate is located in Flassans-sur-Issole on an impressive 950 hectares with vast areas of forest & garigue with clay- limestone soils at an elevation of 330 metres which receives protection from the sea winds due to the natural basin. The plantings of 92 hectares under vine are dedicated to primarily producing world class rose from Cinsault, Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre and Tibouren an all the wines are certified organic. The wines are crafted with an emphasis on freshness, minerality and finesse to create a pure expression of the unique terroir and to capture the flavours and scents of Provence.
Extremely pale pink in colour, this emblematic cuvée cultivates elegance, finesse and concentration. This is a lacy wine, with aromas of white cherry blossom, citrus fruit and white fruit (peach, pear). Fresh and generous on the palate, it immediately delivers the complexity typical of great wines. The aromas are gradually released and intermingle to offer the full expression of the grape varieties of Provence in their chosen terroirs. Built around the grape's acids, this wine is very long on the palate, elegantly prolonged by bitters and a measured salinity.
Very pale lychee pink colour. The nose is fine and elegant. Complex, it releases long aromas of white-fleshed fruit, citrus fruit and white flowers. The palate is straightforward and clean: fine and silky, it is at once tender, delicate and lively. The freshness of the finish underpins the measured volume and a touch of salinity harmonises the whole.
Pale pink with silver highlights. Very open, this wine delivers from the first moment a cocktail of fruits reminiscent of citrus zest. These first impressions are confirmed as soon as the wine hits the palate and continue pleasantly in a set that manages to marry freshness and roundness.
A beautiful pale pink colour with clear bluish highlights. This expressive cuvée opens immediately with notes of red berries supported by delicate citrus fruit. A touch of refreshing greenness accompanies the palate, giving this lively, fresh wine a truly thirst-quenching character.
