Routas Varois en Provence Rose 2024

Château Routas rosé is a gourmet, aromatic and balanced wine with a pale pink colour. The nose of white fruits and citrus is intense. The attack, fresh and round, is an invitation to tasting. The rich and silky mouth has a beautiful volume and sweetness and eveals aromas of peach and mandarin. The citrus finish is long and sapid and ends with a saline touch full of tension.

Chateau Routas is situated within the “Coteaux Varois en Provence”, a key appellation of the Provence wine region in the far South East of France. It was introduced in March 1993 as a complement to the “Cotes de Provence” created 16 years earlier. The appellation is an enclave of the “Cote de Provence”.

The harvest is carried out early in the morning in order to limit the oxidation of aromas and the taking of colour. The vinification is technical, combining pellicular maceration, separation of juices to preserve freshness and cold stalling for more intense aromas. Each parcel and each grape variety is fermented separately with a specific process in order to reveal the diversity of the terroirs of the estate. The wines are aged on fine lees with stirring (bâtonnage) to gain roundness. A meticulous blend reveals a synergy between the grape varieties
