WINE DESCRIPTION
Château Paradis Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence Rouge is a rich and expressive red wine that captures the essence of its terroir, stretching from Sainte-Victoire to the Luberon. This blend features 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Syrah, and 20% Grenache noir, cultivated in shallow clay-limestone soils with a northern exposure, benefitting from a dry, cool climate. The grapes are hand-harvested and meticulously sorted before being destemmed, crushed, and vinified in concrete tanks. Following a cold pre-fermentation maceration, the wine undergoes a gentle fermentation process lasting about 15 days. The Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon are aged for six months in oak barrels and casks, while the Grenache noir rests in concrete tanks. The result is a wine marked by vibrant red fruit flavors, seamlessly crafted with the expertise of oenologists Michel and Bastien Tardieu, embodying the distinguished character of the Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence appellation.

ORIGINS
Winery: Château Paradis
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
