Fontenille Rosé 2025

Domaine de Fontenille – Luberon Rosé 2025

At the foot of the Petit Luberon, in the heart of sunny Provence, lies Domaine de Fontenille. Although wine has been made here since the 17th century, a fresh, modern breeze blows through the estate today. The domain is fully certified organic and creates wines with unprecedented precision, character, and finesse. This Luberon Rosé is the liquid proof of their craftsmanship: a premium organic rosé that finds the perfect balance between South of France generosity and refined elegance.

The Secret of its Finesse

To guarantee the delicate aromas and ultimate freshness, the grapes (Grenache Noir, Syrah, Cinsault, and Mourvèdre) are harvested early in the morning when temperatures are still cool. The grapes are picked slightly overripe for extra fruit concentration. Following an extremely gentle direct pressing, a slow, cold fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, uniquely tailored to each grape variety. This results in a remarkably pure, gastronomic rosé in which the limestone terroir takes center stage.

Tasting Notes

• Color: A beautiful, very pale salmon-pink with subtle, youthful violet reflections.
• Nose: The bouquet opens instantly with refined, expressive aromas of rose petals, exotic lychee, fresh citrus fruits, and crisp berries.
• Palate: On the palate, this rosé is wonderfully dry, generous, and full-flavored. The crisp freshness of red berries blends perfectly with an elegant, chalky mineral character. A harmonious wine with a beautiful, juicy structure.

Food Pairing

While this rosé is an absolute dream as a sophisticated aperitif on a sunny terrace, it truly shines at the dinner table thanks to its generous structure. Pair it with:

• From the grill: Grilled sardines or tender pulpo (octopus) with lemon and olive oil.
• Summer & Mediterranean: A classic Salade Niçoise, creamy burrata with ripe tomatoes and basil, or garlic gambas.
• Charcuterie & Bites: Fine Mediterranean meats such as coppa, cured ham, or artisanal dry sausage.
