The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Château Sainte-Marguerite is a Cru Classé of Provence. It produces organically grown rosés, created in the heart of the exceptional and highly prized terroir of La Londe-les-Maures, where a complex geology gives these wines exceptional finesse. Schist, quartz, clay, and silica collide in a dazzling mosaic of soils, delivering fresh and intense wines with balanced and delicious flavors of fruit.
Wine The 2021 red Côtes de Provence Fantastique wine combines Syrah and Grenache with confidence and success. Fresh and concentrated, it unfolds a silky palate with satiny, powdery tannins, accents of cocoa, spices, and balsamic touches. It is a great wine in the making, sitting on a beautiful structure, with ripe and precise flavors of fruit, and supported by a relevant maturation in barrels. A luxurious ensemble judiciously refreshed on the finish by notes of morello cherry and blackcurrant! Ideal with a Provençal stew or a lamb confit.
Vinification Hand harvested, cold skin maceration before fermentation in vats, temperature-controlled vinification and maturation between 18 and 24 months in new barrels. Fining and filtration before bottling.
