La Bargemone - Free - Rosé - Magnum 2023
The Commanderie de la Bargemone is located in Saint-Cannat, in Provence . After its creation by the Templars in the 13th century, the property belonged successively to the Count of Baux, to the Arbaud de Bargemon family, then to Thomassin Bargemon, hence the name Bargemone. In 1968, Jean-Pierre Rozan bought the estate and replanted the vineyard. In September 2019, André Einaudi , French industrialist, son and grandson of winegrowers, acquired the Commanderie de la Bargemone, with the desire to continue the work of generations of winegrowers. The estate covers 150 hectares including 66 hectares of vines (56 hectares of red grape varieties and 10 hectares of white grape varieties) in the Côteaux d'Aix en Provence appellation. It is traditionally focused on the production of rosé wine and white wine using the Sauvignon Blanc, Rolle, Syrah, Counoise, Caladoc, Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon grape varieties. The Commanderie de la Bargemone is certified in organic farming .
The Libre cuvée comes from a selection of plots located near the Touloubre river in order to obtain grapes that have ripened in a cool and temperate climate. It is a blend of Syrah (45%), Grenache (45%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (10%) . The harvest is carried out at night in order to preserve all the freshness of the berries. The harvest is then cooled again before being placed in the presses. The musts, after pressing, are vatted and then stabilized for 20 days to obtain a more aromatic, richer and longer-lasting wine. The grape varieties are vinified separately, blended in December and bottled from the beginning of the year.
Grape varieties: 45% Syrah, 45% Grenache, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon
