Domaine La Courtade 'Cuvée La Courtade' Rosé 2021
Vintage Character
The Domaine La Courtade Cuvée La Courtade Rosé 2021 is an exceptional Côtes de Provence rosé born from the unique terroir of Porquerolles island. The 2021 vintage in Provence was defined by a cool spring followed by a warm, dry summer, resulting in lower yields of highly concentrated grapes with bracing, vibrant acidity. The estate's old vines thrive on friable, metamorphic schist soils enveloped by the Mediterranean Sea, where cooling marine breezes preserve fresh fruit characters and impart a distinct, signature salinity to this elegant cuvée.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
This dry, medium-bodied rosé offers brilliant aromas of white peach, wild strawberries, and pink grapefruit, accented by hints of dried garrigue and citrus blossom. On the palate, a creamy texture derived from delicate lees contact is perfectly balanced by vibrant acidity, culminating in a long, refreshing finish driven by crushed-rock minerality and sea-spray salinity. It is an ideal partner for grilled Mediterranean sea bass with fennel, a classic Niçoise salad, or steamed garlic prawns.
Winery Background
Established in 1983 on the idyllic island of Porquerolles, Domaine La Courtade is a benchmark estate dedicated to preserving its pristine Mediterranean environment. Certified organic, the estate practices meticulous hand-harvesting and sustainable viticulture on its unique schist-rich parcels. Under the guidance of winemaker Florent Audibert, the grapes undergo gentle pressing and precise, temperature-controlled fermentation to craft a sophisticated wine that captures the wild, untamed essence of its island home.
