2022 Costeval Rosé, Maison Ravoire, Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence
One of last year's great Provençal rosé discoveries is back: 2022 vintage of Maison Ravoires Costeval. Back not only from Provence, but from its much smaller, more exclusive sub-appellation of Côteaux dAix-en-Provence.rosé tradition.
Where vineyards nestled in the heart of the Alpilles mountain range are exposed to both abundant sunshine and the cold, dry Mistral wind. Where, in rugged conditions, grenache, syrah and cinsault vines planted in stony, clay-limestone soils render Costeval's delicate yet concentrated lime zest, wild strawberry and red fruit flavours.
Cool night-harvesting then assures a supreme freshness in grapes is retained before the fruit is gently, directly pressed for a low-temperature vinification of the final blend. A blend expressing all the luminous purity, elegance and finesse that is the essence of the Provençal rosé tradition. All in perfect time for your summer drinking and dining pleasure.
