Provence , Château La Sable, Aoc Luberon, Rosé
The estate's been a hot potato, passing through generations like a family heirloom. Back in the 19th century, Victor-Étienne Pascal decided it needed a little flair, so he popped a couple of towers on it, turning it into a Château lookalike. Fast forward to 2017 when Jean-Marc and Virginie Mercier took the wheel. They've been sprucing it up ever since, and voilà – they've even bagged themselves an organic certificate, making it official that they're as green as they are keen!
Presentation
The 'M' shape of the château on this cuvée's label isn't just for show – it's a shoutout to its vineyard home, Mauconseil, which just so happens to be the neighbor of Château La Sable. These vines are living it up in the Luberon appellation, and boy, do they know how to represent La Sable's lineup. The white version? It's practically an ode to those never-ending Provencal evenings, where the sun takes its sweet time setting, and the beauty of the wild, inner Provence just won't quit.
Vinification
As Jean-Marc puts it: "Catch the best, sort with zest! Harvest's prime, sorted in time. Gently press, no stress, whole bunches at best. With a pneumatic caress, keep colors less. Ferment fifteen days, cool and serene, to lock in aromas unseen. Age with grace on fine lees' embrace, in stainless steel's unyielding space."
