For many years, Chateau Vignelaure was the main producer of reds from Provence. In 1987, Robert Parker described the newly created Coteaux d’Aix-en-Provence appellation stating, "Two of Provence’s greatest wines are made here, the Domaine de Trevallon and Chateau Vignelaure." Now, Rose is in the limelight, and it more than lives up to what you'd expect from a region of this quality. Gloriously refreshing berry flavors make this deliciously quaffable, but its dazzling crispness makes a fine match for food, or simply as an aperitif on a warm summer night.
"Rich in Cabernet Sauvignon, with a touch of white Rolle in the blend, this textured wine comes from an estate that helped pioneer quality rosés. It is ripe in red berry fruits and lifted by juicy acidity. Although it's ready to enoy now, it could hold well through 2022." The Wine Enthusiast, 92 Points
“From another successful year at this estate, the pale flamingo 2020 Coteaux d'Aix en Provence Rose is a blend of 40% Grenache, 30% Syrah, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Rolle (Vermentino). The Cabernet lends a leafy presence on the nose and a certain austerity on the finish, while the Grenache and Syrah provide the flesh to the medium-bodied palate and subtle berry and melon flavors. Rather than expressing itself in a single facet, the Rolle entwines the other elements, binding the wine together into a harmonious whole.” The Wine Advocate, 91 Points
