Libre Rosé Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence AOP - Domaine Bargemone

Libre Rosé Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence AOP - Domaine Bargemone shines in the glass in a delicate salmon pink with copper-coloured reflections. The colour appears clear, taut and promises freshness at first sight. On the nose, an intense bouquet of juicy strawberry, redcurrant and ripe blackcurrant unfolds, accompanied by fine nuances of peach, nectarine and exotic passion fruit. A hint of Mediterranean herbs and a subtle citrus note lend the bouquet additional tension and complexity.

On the palate, this rosé is dry, precise and linear. The fruit aromas of red berries and stone fruit emerge clearly, joined by a subtly tart, elegantly integrated citrus freshness. The structure is slender yet remarkably powerful, with lively acidity lending the wine dynamism and length. The tannins from the red grape varieties remain gentle and silky, while adding a delicate, structuring accent that gives the wine backbone and character.

The cuvée of Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache Noir and Syrah combines the best of these classic Provençal grape varieties: Cabernet contributes structure and cool blackcurrant fruit, Grenache provides richness and juicy strawberry notes, while Syrah adds spice, delicate floral nuances and depth. The wine comes from the renowned Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence appellation, in the heart of Provence in France, whose climate and soils produce rosé wines of remarkable radiance and elegance.

Production of Libre Rosé Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence AOP - Domaine Bargemone

Libre Rosé Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence AOP - Domaine Bargemone comes from the sun-drenched landscape of Provence, more precisely from the Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence appellation. Here, a Mediterranean climate with warm days and cool nights shapes the character of the grapes. The constant influence of the Mistral provides dry, clear air, while limestone and stony soils lend the vines profound minerality and concentration.

The vines are rooted in a varied mixture of limestone, clay and scree, giving the grapes remarkable aromatic density and freshness. Through consistent, sustainable and certified organic cultivation, the natural balance of the vineyards is preserved. Yield limitation, targeted canopy management and careful monitoring of every vine ensure grapes of exceptional quality.

The grapes are harvested selectively and with great care, using only perfectly ripe, aromatic fruit. The berries reach the winery quickly and gently so that freshness and fruit are preserved. Gentle pressing produces the pale rosé colour and prevents excessive extraction of tannins from the skins of the red grape varieties.

The musts undergo cool, controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks. This temperature-controlled vinification preserves the delicate fruit aromas of strawberry, redcurrant and stone fruit, as well as the floral and citrus notes. Maturation on the fine lees lends the wine additional creaminess, fine texture and a harmonious mouthfeel without compromising its lightness and freshness.

The style of Domaine Bargemone stands for precise, elegant and simultaneously distinctive rosé wines that clearly reflect their origin. Modern cellar technology meets traditional Provençal expertise. Every step is consistently focused on clarity, finesse and the expression of the terroir. The wine's high quality is reflected in its score of 87 points at Meininger's International Rosé Award.

Serving recommendations for Libre Rosé Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence AOP - Domaine Bargemone

This rosé complements a wide range of dishes and enhances numerous occasions. Its juicy fruit, lively acidity and elegant depth harmonise particularly well with refined dishes from light cuisine. Especially when paired with aromatic ingredients, the wine reveals its full charm.

• Perfect with white meat dishes such as poultry or veal
• Ideal with Mediterranean starters, antipasti and tapas
• A harmonious match for hearty dishes from southern French cuisine
• Excellent with summery salads featuring fresh herbs
• Outstanding with grilled fish, seafood and grilled vegetables

This Provence rosé is also impressive as an aperitif, thanks to its invigorating character and the harmonious interplay of fruit and freshness. At garden parties, summer celebrations, picnics or as an elegant companion to a light dinner, it immediately creates a touch of southern flair in the glass. In convivial company, alongside modern cuisine or with refined finger food creations, it makes a stylish impression.

The ideal serving temperature is between 6 and 8 °C. At this temperature, the fruit appears clear and precise, the structure remains taut and the acidity extremely refreshing. An elegant white wine glass is ideal, allowing the fine aromas sufficient room to unfold. Serving the wine too warm makes the fruit appear softer, while serving it too cold suppresses its aromatic diversity.

When stored properly in a cool, dark room at a constant temperature, this rosé retains its radiance for several years. Its stated ageing potential is up to four years from the vintage, while during the first few years it reveals particular freshness and fruit intensity. Storing bottles horizontally with a cork closure ensures optimum maturation and maintains the tasting experience at a high level.

Anyone looking for a distinctive, elegant and wonderfully easy-drinking Provence rosé will find Libre Rosé Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence AOP - Domaine Bargemone an ideal companion for pleasurable moments, convivial gatherings and stylish culinary creations.
