Chateau La Coste, Grand Vin Rose, 2024

Terroir
Sourced from the Hautes Terrasses (highest terraces of the estate), situated between 350 and 400 meters elevation. The soils are predominantly clay-limestone with prominent parent rock outcrops.
Farming: 100% Certified Organic (Agriculture Biologique) and Biodynamic (Demeter certified).
Harvest: Plot-by-plot selection (sélection parcellaire) of the oldest vines on the estate. Exclusively hand-harvested with strict sorting both in the vineyard and on sorting tables at the cellar.

Vinification and Ageing
Pressing: Immediate whole-bunch pressing to maintain a pale color and limit tannin extraction.
Fermentation: Vinified using native/indigenous yeasts at controlled low temperatures to preserve delicate primary aromas.
Aging: Aged partially in stainless steel tanks on its fine lees to develop mid-palate texture and roundness while retaining immaculate fruit precision.

Drink now or in the next 5 years.

Eye
Pale peach colour.

Nose
Expressive nose with stone fruit aromas (peach, apricot) accompanied by iodine and aniseed notes.

Palate
Balance, volume and good length in the mouth.
A fresh and persistent finish that confirms the iodine and aniseed
notes felt on the nose.

Service and Pairing
Serve at 10°C to 12°C.

A gastronomically structured rosé built for food. It pairs exceptionally well with grilled red mullet over eggplant confit, warm octopus salad with capers, monkfish skewers with a pine nut reduction, or a lean pork filet mignon roasted with fresh apricots.
