Description
Chateau La Mascaronne have always produced good Provence Rosé but since their purchase by Michel Reybier (owner of Cos d’Estournel) in 2020, the property has been producing very, very good Provence Rosé indeed!
Beautifully pale in the glass with silvery hues to the bright pink tinges. The nose is packed with stone fruit, notably white peach, red fruits and citrus. The sophisticated palate is well-structured with mouth coating fruit, lively acidity and refreshing notes of peach, pineapple and citrus on the long finish. Utterly delicious and a distinct cut above better known ‘brands’ out there – this is serious stuff and a wine to be savoured for 1 – 2 years from vintage.
Certified Biodynamic since 2016, Chateau La Mascaronne is a 60 hectare estate with distinctive stone-walled terraces. The vineyards are on a single, amphitheatre like plot surrounded by oak and olive trees on the highest part of the estate. At 300 metres above sea level the nights are cool whilst the warm, sunny days promote even ripening and wonderful balance.
Cinsault 40%, Grenache 35%, Syrah 15% and Rolle 10%

2020 Morgon Cote de Py, Domaine Grange Cochard
Gamay
The Morgon Cote de Py is a wonderful example of hand crafted Cru Beaujolais from the prestigious Cote de Py plateau. Made with organically grown, hand harvested grapes from a mixture of Granite and blue stone soils, the wine is made in the traditional semi-carbonic method with 2/3rds of the bunches being de-stemmed and 1/3rd left whole. The wine is matured in a mixture of cask and old barrels and bottled with minimal sulphur without fining. The result is a wonderfully complex wine that is expressive yet elegant and finely balanced. Dark fruits and kirsch like characters mingle with dried herbs, liquorice and mineral undertones along with finely poised acidity which helps the wine remain focussed. Delicious in it's youth, the Cote de Py also shows great ageing potential in the medium term and will continue to develop in complexity.
