Inspiration, CHATEAU DE Berne Cotes De Provence
“Aging on the lees has allowed this wine to have depth and ripe concentration, which contrast well with the bright red-berry flavors and spicy, tight aftertaste. Drink now for best enjoyment. 91 POINTS”
“The aptly named salmon-pink hue in the square-shouldered, statuesque bottle is truly inspiring. Notes of wet stone, thyme, and basil season wild strawberry. Watermelon and a hint of peach are lovely on the finish.”
Tasting Notes
Hear From Our Winemaker
Color: A bold, intense pink color that falls in the deeper pink spectrum.
Nose: Classic Provence. Floral, clean, fresh berries first then followed by fresh herbs and flowers – like walking through a Provence lavender field on an early summer morning.
Taste: The harmony of bright acidity, rich texture and dry finish show the completeness of this wine. Creamy strawberry notes up front and lingering flavors of fresh basil, thyme, lavender.
Terroir
The Plateau (altitude 330 m), characterized by an impoverished, stony soil. This zone is reserved for the finest vintages, as its yield is limited.
Le Château (altitude 250 m), characterized by a very different type of soil, with much larger proportions of sand, a generally finer texture and less stones, producing zesty rosés. Its shallow, well-drained soil is ideal for the vines.
This mainly chalky terroir, perfect for growing numerous grape varieties, lends the wines their refreshing, mineral taste.
