The flagship rouge from Domaine Tropez. Power, elegance and all the flare of a top Rhône
A deep ruby colour with purple reflections sets the tone for this intense wine. The nose is powerful and elegant, revealing aromas of black cherry, black pepper, and wild herbs. The palate is generous and well-structured with refined tannins and a balance of black fruit (cherries) and spice. The finish is long and harmonious, leaving a lasting impression.
Shipped direct from Saint Tropez to Bakewell, Domaine Tropez was established in 1996 and comprises 50 hectares of AOC Côtes de Provence parcels. Following significant investments, including an ultra-modern cellar, it quickly became a standout in the appellation.
Located in a Mediterranean climate with diverse soils, Domaine Tropez emphasizes organic farming principles, limiting chemical use and employing certified organic fertilizers. Harvesting at low temperatures ensures elegant and complex rosés with distinctive pale colours.
Hillside plot, 60-year-old vines, sandy schist soil.
Total crushing and destemming. Cooling of the harvested grapes using dry ice. Pre-fermentation cold maceration. Alcoholic fermentation in temperature-controlled tanks to preserve the fruity flavours. One-week post-fermentation maceration. Separation of free-run juice and press wine during racking. Malolactic fermentation in oak tanks. Aging for 18 months in oak barrels.
The Domaine Tropez Rouge is a wine for hearty dishes. A beautiful day accompanied by rich and savory red meats served with roasted vegetables will make the perfect pairing. Hard cheeses will enhance its spicy notes and harmonious palate.
