Côtes de Provence ‘Le Pas du Moine’ 2022, Château Gassier

Originating from Barcelonnette (Hautes-Provence) and part of the Provencal nobility since 1421, the Gassier family bought Château Gassier and its 40 hectares of vines in 1982. In 2004, the Gassier and Jeanjean families decided to join forces and run the estate together. Today the vineyard is managed by Baron Georges Gassier, who represents the fifth winegrowing generation of the family, working with the support from his father. They specialise in rosé and certainly do a great job. Pale pink colour. Beguiling and elegant fruit, dry, super-smooth and balanced body. Very moreish.
