Born between the garrigue and the sea, the UP Rosé 2025 - Ultimate Provence - Côtes de Provence AOP pays tribute to the southern way of life with haute-couture precision. This gastronomic rosé speaks to epicureans seeking an expressive, crystalline and finely cut cuvée, suitable as well for a terrace aperitif as for a seasonal table. Sourced from schist terroir in conversion to organic farming and worked near Saint-Tropez by Château de Berne, it brings together freshness, uprightness and aromatic charm. The carefully composed blend of Cinsault, Grenache, Syrah and Rolle reveals a luminous profile with fruity, floral and subtly spicy notes. Here, technique serves sensation, resulting in a rosé with delicate intensity and a savoury length. More than just a summer wine, it invites you to extend the light of clear days throughout the year, with the measured grace that characterises the fine wines of Provence.

Blend and winemaking

The distinctiveness of this cuvée rests on a blend made up of Cinsault 30%, Grenache Noir 30%, Syrah 30% and Rolle 10%. Fermentation takes place at 16–18°C, with an aromatic precision approach that preserves the brightness of the fruit and the finesse of the floral notes. The reductive ageing on lees adds structure, persistence and a silkier mouthfeel while consolidating the purity of the profile. The vineyard, a 46 hectares of schist in conversion to organic farming, is managed with the aim of expressing a frank minerality, measured salinity and an unadorned Provençal signature. The result reads as a clear framework supported by fresh tension, a discreet spice grain and a finish that stretches out with distinction. This constant care, from vine to cellar, shapes an expressive rosé, deliberately precise and resolutely contemporary.

Tasting notes

• Appearance: Clear and luminous, crossed with pale highlights that evoke Mediterranean clarity. The brilliance announces a pure, upright style.
• Nose: Delicate bouquet of white-fleshed fruit and citrus, lifted by light floral notes and a hint of gentle spice. Overall it breathes freshness without heaviness or excess.
• Palate: Clean, sapid attack, silky texture, tangy tension carried by a fine saline thread. Fruity accents converse with a spicy note, for a long, refreshing finish.

Serving temperature and tips

Serve this cuvée at 12°C in tulip glasses to reveal its aromatic brightness and delicate texture. Opening a few minutes before service allows the fruit and floral notes to unfold easily. Store bottles calmly, away from light and temperature fluctuations. The drinking window is immediate and continues for 1 to 2 years, during which the freshness harmonises with the patina brought by lees ageing.

Food pairings

• Aperitifs: crunchy vegetables and hummus, fine tapenade, freshly peeled small prawns, herb focaccia.
• Starters: delicate ceviche, heirloom tomato and basil salad, sea bream carpaccio with citrus, subtly seasoned tuna tartare.
• Main courses: grilled fish, roast poultry with herbs, stuffed vegetables, Mediterranean cuisine with olive oil and lemon accents.
• Cheeses: fresh goat cheese, tender sheep’s cheese, light tomme served with country bread and fruit.
• Desserts: white fruit salad, thin citrus tart, lightly sweetened almond biscuit to preserve the wine's freshness.

UP Rosé 2025 gracefully accompanies the moments that matter:

• To elevate a summer aperitif where conviviality becomes delicacy.
• At a lunch by the sea, when light cuisine meets the wine’s freshness.
