Aumerade Style Provence Rose Chateau de l’Aumerade

Pale salmon in colour, this is the quintessential Provence rosé with a refreshingly fruity bouquet leading to delicate cranberry and mineral flavours on the palate and an elegant finish

Château de l’Aumerade is a 400-year old estate located in in the heart of Provence. Originally belonging to the Aumerat family The traditional Mas property dates back to the Renaissance period. In 1594, the Duke of Sully, Henry VI’s finance minister, presented the Chateau with a Mulberry tree and Plane trees for their luxurious gardens, as a gift for supplying the Royal Court. In 1930, a young Henri Fabre and his wife Charlotte, fell in love with the Château de l’Aumérade, with its 300 hectares of estate vineyards and purchased it from the Aumerat family. The Chateau was designated as a Cru Classé when the Provence appellation was created in 1955, a system classifying the wine estate rather than the vineyard area. It is one of only 18 that still remain in the designation. The Chateau has been handed down through the family and is currently run by Caroline Demey.
