Description
“Chateau de Selle” Rosé is a dry rosé from Provence, made from Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah, and Mourvedre. The color is light pink with salmon highlights. The aroma is fresh and elegant, with notes of wet stones, grapefruit, lime, and wild strawberry. The palate is soft and clean, with mango, peach, and rosewater, minerals, white tea, and light spicy accents. The finish is long and intriguing. This wine pairs perfectly with fish—flambéed or glazed seafood, roast poultry in sauce, and fruit desserts. The grapes for this wine grow on the chalk hills of the Côtes de Provence, with their sunny warmth and gravelly soils, resulting in low yields but high quality. The estate’s history begins with Marcel Otta, who moved from Alsace to Provence in 1896 and founded Chateau de Selle in 1912. Descendants continue to follow the principles of high quality and respect for nature, making this rosé a representative example of Provence.
