Chateau Pigoudet Description
Chateau Pigoudet is located in the mountains of Provence, in the extreme NE quadrant of the AOC Coteaux d'Aix en Provence. Here, Pigoudet's 100 acres of vineyards sit at 400 meters, with full southern exposure, protected by the strong Mistral winds that blow from the north by Mont Vautubiere.
Producing rose wines from Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Cinsault--vines that benefit from the clay and chalk soils of Pigoudet--Chateau Pigoudet possesses the idea climate that allows the grapes to gradually ripen so that they produce refreshing and aromatic wines.
Vinifying their rose wines using the saignee method, Chateau Pigoudet uses natural yeast on fruit from 35-year-old vines that are sustainably farmed.
Tasting Notes: A fresh rosé wine, light and aromatic. Very pale pink, shining. Expressive, floral, fruity and fresh: white peach, lychee, dominant citrus. Good balance between acidity and fruity aromas: citrus, peach, hints of melon and white fruits. A hint of natural carbon guarantees its aromatic freshness.
Perfect for an aperitif with friends, with a summer salad or before an afternoon nap in the garden.
