Blend and winemaking

Made from Grenache, Syrah and Cinsault, Cuvée 281 2025 comes from rigorously selected parcels chosen to capture the quintessence of the vintage. Grenache brings finesse and amplitude, Syrah adds depth and a spicy thread, Cinsault contributes delicacy and an airy mouthfeel. Winemaking is conducted with artisanal care and precision to preserve the brightness of the fruit and the clarity of the aromas. Gentle pressings and controlled fermentations contribute to a pure, clean aromatic expression without artifice. With a measured alcohol level, 12.5%, the wine achieves overall balance and easy drinkability, ensuring lasting freshness and exemplary drinkability. Throughout its making, careful attention to texture and timing produces a vibrant, direct and well-defined rosé, faithful to the house’s quality standards.

Tasting notes

• Appearance: Clear and luminous, a crystalline brightness that reveals great visual purity—promising freshness and precision.
• Nose: A finely chiselled bouquet of white fruits and exotic notes evoking white peach, soft pear and fresh mango, lifted by a citrus zest and a delicate saline imprint that marks the Mediterranean terroir.
• Palate: A clean, silky attack, a broad mid-palate with a caressing texture supported by a lively backbone. The structure extends to a long, straight and savoury finish with subtle zesty bitters—irresistibly elegant.

Serving temperature & tips

Serve the Cuvée 281 2025 between 8 and 9°C to preserve the fruit’s brightness and the precision of the aromas. The magnum provides ideal thermal inertia, maintaining freshness throughout the meal. Use tulip-shaped glasses with a moderate opening to channel the aromas, and allow the wine to open for a few minutes in the glass. For optimal storage, keep bottles lying down, protected from light and vibrations, at a constant temperature. This rosé has an ageing potential of 3 to 5 years, offering a lovely opportunity to observe the harmony between its saline thread and chiselled fruit over time.
