Chateau St Marguerite, Symphonie Cru Classe Rose, Provence 2021

Producer: Château Sainte Marguerite

Although its current plantings only date back to 1929, the land of Chateau Sainte Marguerite has been cultivated for Vineyard growth since antiquity. It was purchased in 1977 by Jean-Pierre Fayard and his wife, and has since grown to become one of Provence’s most dynamic and well respected estates. The vineyards are picturesque. Vines framed with palm trees, looking out over the ocean. It is this proximity to the sea, and optimum sun exposure, that sets Chateau Sainte Marguerite apart. In such a warm climate, the cooling sea breeze is essential for quality grape growing. The resulting wines are fresh and vibrant, rather than overly ripe and thin (like many other wines of the region). It’s unsurprising that most of Chateau Sainte Marguerite ‘s vineyards are classified Cru Classé and certified Organic.

Finesse, elegance, and aromatic pleasure – it is clear and bright with a light pink hue. On the nose, it’s floral and delicate with aromas of white flowers and passion fruit. On the palate, delicate acidity with notes of peach, orange peel, and exotic fruits. Very versatile, enjoy it with truffle and scallop risotto, seafood, sushi, and Thai dishes
