Château Clarettes, Thérapie, AOP Côtes-de-Provence, Rosé
Château Clarettes is a long-standing anchor on the Arcs-sur-Argens terroir and has reborn from its ashes like Phoenix in recent years. It’s undergoing a complete renovation — with even more improvements to come — made possible by the will of wine enthusiasts Seligsons from Finland, who took over this vineyard in 2012. This historic estate is taking a page from nearby Bandol, utilizing a high proportion of Mourvèdre in its rosés.
Presentation
When you swing by the Seligsons' winery, get ready for some grape therapy, literally! It's like a spa day, but with vineyards for views and oak trees for company. So, sip back, relax, and let the tranquility seep in – it's the kind of therapy where the only thing you're pouring out is another glass of their calming concoction!
Vinification
Caught at the crack of dawn, the grapes hardly know what hit 'em. The Seligsons gently persuade them off their stems and give them a bit of a squeeze – all in the cool morning air to keep that pesky oxidation at bay. Then, both the free-spirited run and the squeezed-out juice get a VIP transfer to shiny stainless steel vessels. That's where the fermentation party kicks off, all under the watchful eye of their uber-cool, gravity-defying, state-of-the-art cellar. It's like grape spa meets high-tech lounge!
