2020 Côtes de Provence Rouge, Château La Mascaronne

Deep garnet in the glass, this red radiates warmth and grace. Aromas of ripe black cherry, blackberry and wild herbs mingle with notes of violets, garrigue, and a touch of spice. The palate is smooth and polished with layers of dark fruit, soft tannins, and a whisper of oak coming together in seamless harmony. There’s freshness beneath the richness, a lift that keeps everything vivid and refined, leading to a long, elegant finish laced with savoury depth.

For when: the sun’s setting, the table’s full, and the evening feels endless.
Pairs with: grilled lamb, ratatouille, or a simple plate of charcuterie and good bread.
If this wine were a texture, it’d be cashmere, comforting, refined, and quietly luxurious.

From organically farmed vineyards set in the limestone hills of Le Luc-en-Provence, Château La Mascaronne crafts wines of balance and authenticity. Owned by Michel Reybier (of Château Cos d’Estournel fame), the estate marries Bordeaux precision with Provençal soul. The 2020 Rouge is a blend of Grenache and Syrah and captures that harmony perfectly: sun-kissed fruit, supple structure, and effortless sophistication.
