Domaine Pey Blanc, No 1 Rosé 2024, Coteaux d’Aix-en-Provence, France

About Domaine Pey Blanc: The Pey Blanc estate is a gem in the Aix wine-growing landscape. It has been a family-owned estate since 1930, and under the management of energetic winemaker Gabriel Giusiano since 2004. Gabriel often talks about “preserving the terroir, listening to the vines and remaining attentive to their equilibrium” as he seeks to strike a balance between the elegance and freshness of his wines. The best methods involve simply respecting the terroir’s potential and carefully training the vines for winemaking. This is the ethos followed throughout the vine growing and winemaking process, to stay true to the terroir and ensure a balance of elegance and freshness in the wines. This leads to their Provence rosé wines being of exceptional quality with aromatic profiles.

Nestled in the sun-drenched landscapes of Coteaux d’Aix-en-Provence, they stand as a beacon of sustainable winemaking. The Pey Blanc estate is made up of three plots around the exceptional Vallon des Mourgues site. This 33-hectare site is in the Aix-en-Provence appellation AOP area and is home to the various Pey Blanc “terroirs”. The soil is primarily clay-limestone and its features make the estate’s wines more complex and characteristic. The average age of the vines is 30 years old.

Winemaking: Crafted with precision, this rosé undergoes direct pressing with extra-cold pre-fermentation on lees. Each varietal is vinified separately, preserving freshness and seeking elegance in every drop.

Description: A pure rosé of Provence: dry, pale, elegant and expressive. Delicate aromas of white flowers and hints of peach.
