Producer

The Château Paradis estate covers 185 acres in the northern part of Coteaux d’Aix-en-Provence, in the village of Le Puy Sainte Réparade. The estate is in the midst of a range of legendary landscapes, which the famous painters of Provence used to depict. An old plot of vines called “Paradis” gave its name to the vineyard. The property became a winery in 2003 thanks to Philippe and Juliette Deschamps, who built a cellar and restored the bastide. Since 2011 the Thiéblin family, proud of their Provençal heritage, has been focused on bringing out the best in the estate. New vineyard plantings and cellar investment have ensured the quality of the wines. Currently the estate is in conversion to organic viticulture for its 2023 vintage.
Tasting Notes
Aix-en-Provence and its surrounding hills are home to many fantastic producers of Rose wines. At Château Paradis nestling on the slopes to the north of this historic town they hand make a delicious Provençal rosé which is presented in smart contemporary packaging. It is made by the saignée method of `bleeding` the fermenting juice from the skins to preserve delicacy and character whilst giving a lovely salmon pink colour. Elegant and dry with aromatic fruit aromas derived from a vibrant blend of Cabernet and Syrah this really delivers the `local` Rose so adored and enjoyed by the English when on summer holidays in the South of France.
Food
Serve with cold meats, smoked salmon, bouillabaise and grilled sardines.
