Château De L'Escarelle
This magnificent estate, created in 1718, of 1100 hectares, of which 100 are vines, niched between Aix en Provence and Frejus, is an ecological gem.
Its environment is protected by new proprietor Yann Pineau who reconverted into viticulture due to his passion, as well as his ardent support for sustainable farming and biodynamics in the vineyard. As such, important investments have been undertaken at the estate in order to make it both exemplary and an exceptional place: an immaculate vineyard of the highest quality, in a unique setting, with parcels nestled between the surrounding hills and trees. Moreover, the brand new cellar continues the estate’s ambition in achieving excellence.
The wines from the AOP Coteaux Varois en Provence, all with beautiful modern packaging, are fine, elegant wines, crafted under the signature of Patrick Lobier, who for over 20 years now, has taken care of all the technical aspects at the Chateau. Cinsault and Grenache essentially make up the roses in different proportions.

Tasting Notes
The prestige rosé from Château de l'Escarelle is made from grapes from old, low-grade vines, planted in the chateau's highest-lying parcel at the foot of the Loube mountain. Here, the cool nights encourage the freshness of the aromas. Grapes are Grenache, Mourvédre and Syrah, harvested in the coolness in the early hours of the morning. The grapes are hand-sorted, peeled and undergone a short maceration on the grape skin to ensure aroma and, not least, the beautiful delicate rose color. After that, the musts are fermented at low temperatures. The result is an extraordinarily good rosé with fine intense aromas of red berries and white wool. The taste is rich and elegant with a fineness and freshness that is first class.
