Today marks the US launch of Sainte Marguerite en Provence rosé wines. Just in time for National Rosé Day on June 10th, Sainte Marguerite’s two signature cuvées, Symphonie and Fantastique, offer free spirited rosé lovers an avant-garde approach to Provençal rosé.
First established in 1929, the vineyard took on new life in 1977 when Brigitte and Jean-Pierre Fayard first visited the estate in the South of France, and fell in love with the terroir. These self-taught enological entrepreneurs, dedicated to uncompromising quality, saw the international potential of rosé from Provence.
Selecting the three most exquisite grape varieties present in the region, Sainte Marguerite en Provence’s new rosés showcase a blend of Grenache, Cinsault and Rolle, which give their wines a perfect summery finesse and elegance.
“Our top priorities at the vineyard are respect for the environment, our customers and our staff. This echoes the standards that guide us in everything we do. We gained knowledge of the different terroirs while building up the vineyard. Over 46 years, we’ve learned how to understand them in order to express their best qualities,” said Olivier Fayard, Sainte Marguerite en Provence CEO and Winemaker. “We could have created traditional rosé wines, but we decided to go against the grain. This is all part of the heritage and positioning of Sainte Marguerite. The hallmark of a great wine producer is to know how to think outside the box and continually evolve.”
The Symphonie cuvée exemplifies an established savior-faire with fresh notes and a generous aromatic profile, making it a perfect introduction to the House style. Fantastique Rosé is the only organic Cru Classé in Côtes de Provence. Certified organic and vegan, the rosé is balanced, structured and precise.
As Summer soaks in, Sainte Marguerite makes perfect aperitif or pairing to transport you to the dreamy vineyards of Provence.
