• The Chateau Routas soil varies dramatically, resulting in small vineyards that are often unusually shaped. Some plots are red as crushed brick, while others are of crumbly grey limestone mixed with bright red stones that bleach in the hot summer sun. The elevation is among Provence’s highest, providing cool nights that slow the ripening of the grapes, contributing complexity, and dictating harvests that are up to a month later than those nearer the coast.

A charming Provencal rose from the Coteaux Varois en Provence, an appellation formed in 1993 to complement the Cote de Provence AOC. The estate covers 290 hectares and is home to some of the highest vineyards in Provence. The altitude brings a much-needed cooling influence in the height of the Mediterranean summer, slowing down the ripening process and producing a beautifully balanced and elegant wine. One of our best-selling rosés, Routas delivers aromas of freshly cut watermelon, ripe peach and floral notes with a palate alive with wild strawberries and hints of mineral notes followed by a crisp, refreshing finish.
