Rose, Chateau Grand Boise
Regular price £21.30Cheese Lady Recommends
Classic Provence rose – organic – family-owned
This vintage is a blend of 50% Grenache, 30% Cinsault and 20% Syrah, hand-picked from plots at around 300m above sea level. Expect refreshing aromas of white peach with floral, mineral and white pepper notes. The complexity on the palate is balanced with a long, fresh finish. Best paired with light Mediterranean-cuisine or lightly spiced dishes.
Château Grand Boise
Forty five hectares of vines are planted in terraces, dotted across the hillside directly opposite the stunning Montagne Sainte-Victoire. Vines have been grown in this area since the Roman era and the Grand Boise estate is certainly a throwback to a more traditional way of farming, with the vines sitting alongside olive groves and woodland in a truly balanced eco-system.
Family-owned, the Grand Boise estate can be traced back to 1610, although came to being in its current form when the land of three estates was combined in 1879. That rich history, combined with an enviable location, ensures this is one of the most interesting estates we have discovered in the Provence region.
The vineyards are located at relatively high altitude, with vines found between 300m to 640m above sea level. The combination of this altitude with good exposure to the sun gives beautifully fresh wines with excellent balance, all produced without the use of fertilisers or pesticides.
