Château Rousset - Pierrevert - Grand Jas red 2020

Grand Jas du Château Rousset is a superb red from Provence. In 2016, the estate produced a silky, fragrant organic wine with notes of undergrowth, tobacco and licorice. A wine to drink over 5 to 7 years. The Château Rousset is located in the Manosque region, between Aix and Sisteron, in the Coteaux de Pierrevert AOC, which stretches along the hills bordering the Durance. Small, heterogeneous in its exposures and terroirs, and often forgotten in books and maps, this appellation nonetheless remains a great reserve of nological discovery for lovers of freshness.The Château Rousset has belonged to the EMERY family since the early 19th century and remains family-owned. It is organically farmed and has many north-facing plots, which enable the wines to retain their elegance and freshness. Prices are very moderate!"The vineyard forms an original entity where Rhodanian and Provençal influences overlap, but where altitude tempers the southern aspect of the wines. They have a freshness that invigorates their expression. When properly used, this character accentuates the perception and fullness of the fruit. Didn't the writer Jean Giono, whose work resonates with the Manosque region, evoke its "Vraies Richesses"? (Mohamed BOUDELLAL, Revue du Vin de France).

The wines of Manosque have a freshness that tones their expression.
