Côtes de Provence Rosé Merle, Château Pas du Cerf 2025

0 star rating 0 Reviews
Stylish, well presented and utterly delicious, this is mostly grenache with cinsault and tibouren in support. The flavour is dry and fruity, yet soft and gentle and with a hint of strawberry on the finish. The Gualtieri family, Aurore, Diane and Marion, whom we are delighted to name as Wine Society Pioneers for their efforts in sustainability, live among the vines so it’s only natural that the environment is important to them and for future generations. Certified organic and HVE Level 4 (high standard), they only use bio-control products in the vineyard and insect pests are faced with sexually confusing pheromones to deter mating. Botanical treatments stimulate vine photosynthesis and add nutrients into the soil while computer-controlled drip irrigation is in place, with soil probes focusing it in a timely manner and only on young vines in the hottest period of summer. A plant-filtered pond behind the winery takes any wastewater from the winery.

Château du Pas de Cerf

Eight generations of the Gualtieri family have farmed this Provence estate in the Massif des Maures since 1848, and today that honour falls to Geneviève, Patrick and their daughters. The 80 hectares of south-facing, schist-like soils here are bathed in warm sunshine during the growing season, soaking it up and throwing it back on the grapes to help them ripen fully while allowing what rainfall there is to drain into, and well below, the surface with ease, accessible to the roots that can push through the fissured sub-soils. Rolle, semillon, grenache noir, cinsault, thibouren, syrah, mourvèdre, cabernet sauvignon and carignan are all grown for a range of white, rosé and red wines. Farming is sustainable, using organic manures. The winery and barrel cellar are both half-buried in the hillside, some 7 metres deep, so that both are naturally cooled and the presses, stainless steel vats and barrels can be filled by gravity rather than the rougher handling of pumps.

The Scotsman

Refined, pale, silky-textured, dry, red -berried fruited blend of the classic Provençal rosé blend of grenache, cinsault and tibouren.

Pale, slim, faintly smoky, tinged with stones and raspberries. Finishing in agauzy haze of white pepper and rosemary. Pretty elegant. JancisRobinson.com
