La Sangliére, Vertu de Sangliére Rosé, 2024, AOP Côtes de Provence, France
Producer Profile
It all began in 1980 when François Devictor, an agronomic engineer awarded a diploma from ESAP (Purpan Engineering school, Toulouse), decided to settle in Provence with the idea and desire of creating great wines.
François fell in love with the Domaine de la Sanglière in Bormes les Mimosas and immediately senses the potential of this idyllic site, located just a few steps from the Mediterranean Sea.
With a total surface area of 42 hectares, the estate was completely remodelled to meet strict production criteria and requirements. Everything was done to produce wines of excellent quality. The cellar was built. Production of rosé, white, and red wines under the Côtes de Provence designation could then begin…There is a lot of work to be done to move construction forward. To help the Devictor family save money, friends from all over France travel to La Sanglière and provide assistance, simply by setting up camp in tents amidst the vines for weeks.
It was in 1983 the year of the very first harvest at Domaine de le Sanglière – not only for François, but also for Rémy, his eldest son, then 16 years old.
Viticulture
Ancient terroirs located on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea and a temperate climate give this wine the characteristic freshness of Côtes de Provence.
Winemaking
Starting with rigorous plot selection, the grapes are picked at their peak of ripeness.
Gentle cold pressing followed by temperature controlled winemaking processes with bottling a few months later.
Tasting Note
The colour is salmon pink. The nose is frank and direct with waves of yellow fruits and spices. On the palate, it is round and captivating, with a mineral freshness reminiscent of its terroir. The length is pleasant, with notes of peach and fresh fruit. A pleasurable, indulgent, and flavourful wine.
Goes well with
This wine is a fan of aperitifs with friends and fragrant cuisine: perfect with Asian accents like Thai shrimp soup with lemongrass and basil or sushi with salmon and wasabi. Dare to pair it with paprika-flavoured cheese for a perfect combination of tenderness.
Cellaring
2 years with careful cellaring.
