WINE DESCRIPTION
The Château Gassier Le Pas du Moine Sainte Victoire is a vibrant blend of Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault, and Rolle grapes, grown in clay and limestone soils. Grapes derive from Côtes de Provence AOP Sainte-Victoire appellation. The wine undergoes night harvests, cold direct pressing, and fermentation at low temperatures (14°C, rising to 18°C). It boasts a splendid, radiant color reminiscent of lychee and offers an intense nose with passion fruit and red raspberry aromas. On the palate, it's a refined, elegant, and refreshing wine with exotic fruit notes and a well-defined structure. Ideal pairings include oysters, seafood poke bowls, melon with cured ham, sea bream ceviche, or as an aperitif. Serve chilled between 8°C and 10°C. This wine is certified organic.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
On the nose, this wine offers a bouquet of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and raspberries, accompanied by subtle floral notes.There is also a hint of spice, adding complexity to the aromatic profile.
The palate is elegant and refined, with silky tannins and a medium body. The flavors of red fruits continue to shine, with additional nuances of blackberries and plums. The wine displays a good level of acidity, providing freshness and ensuring a long, lingering finish.
Château Gassier Le Pas du Moine Sainte Victoire is a wine that can be enjoyed now, but it also has the potential to age gracefully. It pairs wonderfully with a variety of dishes, including roasted meats, game, and aged cheeses.

ORIGINS
Winery: Château Gassier
Region: Provence
Nestled in the south of France, Provence is a Mediterranean paradise for wine lovers. With its stunning landscapes, mild climate, and rich history, Provence as a wine region is more than just the home to refreshing holiday rosé wines.
The history of winemaking in Provence dates back to the ancient Greeks, who first planted vines in the region in 600 BC. Since then, the region has become renowned for its unique terroir and its production of high-quality wines. In the 19th century, the region experienced a period of decline due to the phylloxera epidemic, but it has since recovered and is now one of the most important wine regions in France.CUSTOMER RATING
