A very pale peach-pink hue, the nose is aromatic, with delicate notes of rose and fresh mint. The palate is vibrant and refreshing, revealing flavors of mandarin, lemon zest, bright red fruit, citrusy lift, strawberry, raspberry, melon and herbs, with a clean, refreshing finish. Graceful and highly versatile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe blend is 45% Syrah, 30% Merlot, 15% Ugni Blanc and 10% Grenache organically-farmed grapes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChâteau Coussin, located beneath the summit of Sainte Victoire, produces delicate rosés, mineral whites, and strong reds from one of France's largest family-owned vines. The Sumerie family has been involved in the wine trade since the 1800s, and their history in Trets, a village near Aix-en-Provence, stretches back to the 1200s. Jean-Baptiste Gautier bought the Coussin property at the turn of the century, and when his granddaughter married Elie Sumerie, it became part of the family estate. The 120-hectare vineyard is higher in elevation than most of the Côtes-de-Provence, with a profound continental influence that results in wines with stunning acidity and minerality, notably the rosés.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe property is situated on historically significant ground where the ancient Greeks and Romans both planted vines. The Coussin estate even has Roman tombs, showing its ancient origins. Given the vineyard's microclimate and history, the Sumeries manage it with great care, avoiding pesticides to foster biodiversity and using organic and biodynamic practices whenever possible. Olivier Sumerie, an eighth-generation Provence winemaker, emphasises brightness, purity and aromatics in his wines. While many winemakers were bringing in new oak barrels in the early 2000s, he was getting rid of his, all in the name of fruit-forward, terroir-driven wines. Olivier, his sister Sophie, and his wife Annabelle oversee the Château. They vinify Syrah, Grenache, Cinsault, Rolle and Ugni Blanc in a state-of-the-art winery with the winemaking team, producing true representations of the Côtes-de-Provence Sainte Victoire AOP.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine Coussin","offers":[{"title":"750 ml","offer_id":51807548965181,"sku":null,"price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/2931\/0781\/files\/Famille-Sumeire-Le-Rose-de-S-Mediterranee-IGP-2025.jpg?v=1780853137","url":"https:\/\/shopgeraldines.com\/products\/famille-sumeire-le-rose-de-s-mediterranee-igp-2025","provider":"Geraldine's Natural Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
