Region
The appellation of Côtes de Provence covers a wide swathe of land from Aix east to Cannes. Although much of the production is of dry rosé wine made from Cinsault, Carignan, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, it does also cover red and white wines. Provence has a warm Mediterranean climate with adequate rainfall and the cold Mistral wind provides cooling influence but the best sites are usually sheltered.
Producer
This inland estate is perched on chalky hills, enjoying generous days of sunshine, Mostly arid, there are pockets of highly fertile soils of clay. Chateau de Selle covers an area of 140 hectares and the area under cultivation increases year on year. Their Rose won the title of `the worlds finest rose wine` and is on the wine lists of some of the most prestigious restaurants of the world.
Tasting Notes
The bouquet is floral with notes of fruit and spice, broom, apricot and grapefruit pulp. Cabernet Sauvignon for its complexity, blending elegance and vigour. Grenache to add warmth to the wine, Cinsault for its finesse and fullness, and Syrah in small quantities to round off the wine and give it color.
Food
Fish dishes including bouillabaisse, smoked salmon or asparagus risotto.
