Château Henri Bonnaud Rosé Côtes de Provence Sainte-Victoire 2024 Bio rose

Château Henri Bonnaud Rosé Côtes de Provence Sainte-Victoire Bio 2024 is a finely sculpted organic rosé from one of Provence’s most prized sub‑regions, just east of Aix-en-Provence. Crafted from Cinsault and Grenache Noir grown in a natural amphitheatre of limestone and clay, it captures the region’s trademark elegance, luminosity and refreshing finesse. Certified organic since 2013, this cuvée offers a pure, terroir-driven expression of Sainte-Victoire rosé, combining precision winemaking with a clear sense of place.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the 2024 vintage shows a very pale, luminous salmon-pink hue with delicate copper highlights—classic for top Provençal rosé. The nose is immediately inviting, with aromas of wild strawberries, white peach and redcurrant layered with pink grapefruit zest, spring flowers and a gentle whisper of garrigue herbs and wet stone. On the palate, this is dry, crisp and finely textured, with a silky attack that quickly gives way to vibrant citrus and red-berry freshness. Notes of crushed strawberries, peach skin and blood orange are underpinned by a distinct saline, chalky minerality that speaks clearly of its limestone-clay soils. The finish is long, clean and mouthwatering, with a subtle herbal lift and great balance between fruit and acidity. Best enjoyed in its youth for its vibrancy and perfume, it will drink beautifully over the next 2–3 years.

Production
The vineyards for this cuvée lie in the Côtes de Provence Sainte-Victoire appellation, on slopes of limestone and clay that form a natural amphitheatre around the estate at Le Tholonet, near Aix-en-Provence. Protected by surrounding hills and mountains that temper the force of the Mistral while benefiting from a special cooling microclimate, the Grenache Noir and Cinsault vines ripen slowly and evenly, preserving aromatic intensity and crisp acidity. Since 2013, all parcels have been farmed to certified organic standards, with careful vineyard work and hand-harvesting to ensure pristine fruit. After destemming, the grapes undergo a brief maceration of up to eight hours to gently extract the region’s hallmark pale pink colour and delicate aromatics, before being softly pressed. The must is then fermented at controlled low temperatures in stainless-steel tanks to protect freshness and purity, typically followed by a short ageing on fine lees to enhance texture and complexity without adding weight.

Food & Serving
This rosé is a natural partner for Mediterranean cuisine: think grilled sea bream, prawns à la plancha, salade niçoise, herbed roast chicken or a simple plate of tapenade and charcuterie. Its bright acidity and mineral backbone also make it excellent with sushi, ceviche, Provençal vegetable dishes such as ratatouille, or lightly spiced Asian salads. Serve well-chilled at around 8–10 °C to emphasize the wine’s freshness and aromatics; if possible, open the bottle 10–15 minutes before serving rather than fully decanting, as prolonged aeration is not necessary and its charm lies in its immediacy and delicacy.
