Rosé de Provence 'Maur & More' Chateau Saint-Maur 2024
"Maur & More" by Saint-Maur is a rosé wine that encapsulates all the freshness and beauty of the picturesque hills of the Gulf of Saint Tropez, in the heart of Provence. Matured in steel for a short period, it showcases a light and slender body, imbued with fresh and mineral notes, accompanied by hints of small berries, Mediterranean herbs, and light sea breezes.
The Rosé “Maur & More” is a light and fresh concentrate of the romantic hills of Provence, overlooking the sea that washes the shores of the Gulf of Saint Tropez. Chateau Saint-Tropez, acquired by Roger Zannier, owner of the Portuguese estate Quinta do Pessegueiro, is a charming estate rich in ancient allure. Peace, calm, and carefree moments dominate among the rows that cover the gentle hills, intertwining with the plants of the Mediterranean scrub, descending towards the deep and clear blue sea of the Côte d'Azur. However, what Roger has always carried forward is that feeling of love and passion that has dominated these lands since ancient times, investing in innovation while preserving the ancient tradition of the place. Thus, he produces true juices of the territory, capable of concentrating all the romantic and Mediterranean atmospheres of Provence. This Rosé captures its freshest and most playful sides, through a subtle, fine, and rich personality.
“Maur & More” is born from a blend of Grenache (80%) and Cinsault (20%), two ancient local varieties that have been thriving in Provence for centuries. Both grapes come from vineyards close to the gulf, the ones nearest to the sea, with roots in sandy and schistose soils. Once harvested, a gentle pressing and brief cold maceration of the skins follow, a technique that achieves rosy hues. The winemaking, carried out in the deep cellars of the winery, involves fermentation in steel at a controlled temperature. Aging continues in steel tanks for several months, without using wooden barrels, thus preserving the fragrant and varietal aromas of the grapes.
The Rosé de Provence “Maur & More” from Chateau Saint-Maur shines in the glass with its clear and delicate pink hue. The nose focuses on aromas of wild strawberries, small red fruits, and Mediterranean herbs on a savory background reminiscent of the sea. The clear freshness and crisp aromatic fragrance guide the tasting, making it refreshing, delightful, and smooth. A romantic postcard from Provence!
