Château Peyrassol La Croix Rosé IGP 2024
40 % Cinsault – 30 % Grenache - 20 % Syrah – 10 % Caladoc.
The winter of 2024 saw a return to rigorous conditions, with frosts and more than 400 mm of rainfall, providing the vines with optimum water reserves for vigorous growth. Despite a cold snap in April, just as the grapes were setting, the bunches benefited from ideal natural aeration, guaranteeing excellent health management.
The summer was hot and dry, as usual in Provence, but there were no heatwaves or destructive storms, so the grapes ripened gradually and evenly.
Harvesting began on 22 August with the Tibourens and Syrahs for the rosés. The grapes were exposed to scorching sunshine and the vines were in a state of moderate to severe stress, depending on the plot. The first juices from this early harvest were sun-kissed, with warm alcohol balanced by lemony acidity and aromas of bergamot.
At the beginning of September, the vines were given a real rejuvenating treatment with some fine rainfall that brought the long-awaited juice to the berries. A new profile is emerging, offering freshness and a wide range of aromas, from floral to red fruit. The Cabernets, harvested at the end of the cycle, set the seal on this vintage of remarkable parcel diversity, heralding complex, elegant cuvées.
Ceviche of sea bass with citrus fruit, a creamy burrata with pesto and preserved tomatoes, a lemon and Parmesan risotto or a rustic tart with apricots and rosemary.
The first aromas give the impression of biting into a ripe vine peach, while a bouquet of white flowers perfumes the air.
On the palate, citrus fruits unfold their sweet, fresh notes. The texture is reminiscent of an orange berlingot, which is particularly mouthwatering and leaves a pleasantly tangy sensation. Small bitters add a sapid touch to the finish.
