Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"Estandon X comes from the best terroir of the AOP Coteaux d'Aix en Provence which gives to our rosé wine a beautiful pale colour with frank nuances, and fruity notes of peach and citrus.
A beautiful sparkling colour, a pink colour with hints of peonies. The nose opens with aromas of white-fleshed fruits, notes of tart red berries,
floral notes and a few accents of sweet spices and herbs. The palate is greedy and harmonious. The whole is balanced between generosity and tangy freshness with a lingering finish.
Saint Louis de Provence invites you to discover the terroir of the "Provence Verte" (Green Provence), where terraces of olive trees line the vineyards and the rivers flow quietly by, where the rosé reveals itself in many reflections.
The terroir of the Coteaux-Varois-en-Provence AOC is characterized by a rugged landscape where parcels of vines grow between 200 and 500 metres altitude. Due to the alternation of hot weather during the day and cool temperatures at night, the grapes ripen steadily and evenly, developing aromatic complexity."
5 Stars & 95/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, August 2023 (2022 Vintage)
"This is exquisitely fine and elegantly fragrant on the nose, showing red berry, crunchy apple and subtle spice nuances, leading to a brilliantly concentrated palate that's finely flowing with gorgeous fruit purity. Wonderfully structured by bright acidity, the wine offers refinement as well as tension with a sustained delicate finish. At its best: now to 2025."
