2024 Clos de Capelune Rosé, Château Saint-Maur
Provence, France
This is Provence rosé in its grander, more gastronomic form: pale, polished and quietly opulent. From a single parcel in the Côtes de Provence, it opens with wild strawberry, blood orange, pink grapefruit and lychee, then lifts into pink peppercorn, wild mint, white flowers and a cool mineral edge. It is graceful and delicate in colour, but there is real depth behind the perfume.
The palate is silky, fresh and beautifully structured, with red berries, citrus and peppery spice running through a long, harmonious finish. The blend of 45% Syrah, 25% Grenache, 20% Rolle and 10% Cinsault gives it both aromatic lift and enough body to work properly at the table. This is not just a poolside rosé. It is serious Provence with texture, poise and a little moonlit glamour.
For when you want rosé with elegance, presence and proper dinner-table credentials.
Pairs with langoustine ravioli, lobster, grilled prawns, veal with summer vegetables, tuna crudo, salade niçoise, truffle potatoes, or a Provençal fig tart.
Château Saint-Maur is one of the distinguished Cru Classé estates of Côtes de Provence, set in Cogolin in the Gulf of Saint-Tropez. Clos de Capelune is its most refined single-parcel expression: organic from the 2024 vintage, grown at altitude on clay-limestone soils rich in schist and quartz, then made with night-harvested fruit and careful, cool vinification to preserve freshness and finesse. With only around 9,000 bottles produced, it shows Château Saint-Maur at its most precise and ambitious: Provençal rosé with perfume, structure, minerality and rare gastronomic polish.
