Aromas of cherry and berry. In the mouth reveals a dry and fresh rosé with a zippy mouthfeel. Light bodied, lingering lime notes with a touch of tropical fruit.
Château Lascaux, located in Vacquières, has been home to the same family since the 16th century. In 1984, Jean-Benoît Cavalier, the 14th generation of winemakers, took over the estate and brought significant innovation. He modernized the vineyard by introducing new grape varieties, exploring diverse terroirs, increasing plantation density, and building a modern cellar to enhance the precision of their wines.
Today, the 15th generation works alongside Jean-Benoît, continuing the family’s winemaking tradition. Together, they cultivate the estate in harmony with its remarkable natural surroundings, crafting wines that embody the spirit of their heritage and terroir.
Winery notes (2023 Vintage)
"At the north of the AOC Languedoc stands the Pic Saint-Loup, between the Mediterranean Sea and the first foothills of the Cévennes. Château de Lascaux, a 85-hectare family winery, is located at the heart of this garrigue setting, The vineyards of the cuvee Éclat de Garrigue are located at 130 meters up hill on a south-east facing slope. The clay-limestone soil has been formed by the alteration of colluvial deposits : clay loam and fragments of limestone from the erosion of the slope.
The vineyard has been certified in organic farming since 2009 and in biodynamic farming since 2018. We are particularly attached to the rich natural environment that surrounds us. By the use of composts, medicinal plant preparations, silica and horn manure, we work to enrich the fertility andthebiodiversity of our soils, in order to reveal all the potential and the expressionof PicSaint-Loupin our wines."
90/100 Reggie Solomon, Wine Enthusiast, December 2024 (2023 Vintage)
"This is a solid rosé. Red cherry, cranberry and just-browned wheat toast aromas open on the nose along with rosehip and dried white blossom. Lively acidity and wet stone lift the fruit structure and adds more interest."
